Quality Domains are Key

Posted by Mark Cuda on Friday, June 27th, 2008 | 6 Comments »

In the world of blogging, professionalism is key. If you want anyone to pay attention to you or your blog, you 1) need a domain, and 2) need a quality domain. If you pick a bad domain, not only are you stuck, but you discredit your blog big time.

When I first started blogging, I made some bad choices, and some good choices, when it came to choosing domain names. Let’s talk about the consequences of each a good choice, or a bad choice.

Bad Choice

When I made a few bad choices pertaining to domain name choosing, it effected my blog more than you’d think. I got many complaints, many lost readers, and a lot of confused readers who thought that it made me look like an unprofessional jerk. The blog eventually fell apart, and I believe the biggest reason was the bad choice of names.

Good Choice

Ah, time for the good choice. ;) Well, for one thing, MonkeyBlogger.com is a fantastic domain if you ask me. ;) But besides that point, the good effects you can get from a great choice in domain name, or business name for that matter are endless. Publicity is one thing. When you have a good name, it gets around. And fast. When your domain name is brandable, you build a brand on and off the internet, and it adds an extra hint of professionalism in your blog and/or business.

So that’s it for today, just thought I’d talk a bit about this, I’ll be talking more about professionalism in other things in my upcoming posts, and you should fine it very interesting, so don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS to stay updated. :D
