			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.shahalam.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/domain-name.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-140" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="domain name" src="http://www.shahalam.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/domain-name-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Domain name investments become a land that is interesting enough to make money from the internet. to have a good domain name, quality and great potential to generate popularity for its owner. Many sites that assess the potential measured with a domain name domain name market price itself. The unbalanced discovery boosts the unseen blast. So, here are some tips that can be considered in investing in the domain. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Quality over Quantity</strong><br />
Domains are cheap so if you want to, you can hand register over 1,000 domains for less than $10,000. Would that make you happy? Would you consider yourself a “big shot domainer” if you were to own 1,000 domains? Wake up!<br />
Most of the people who are just starting out as domain name investors make the mistake of hand registering worthless domains. For example, lots of people thought they would make it big by hand registering as many five letter domains as they could afford. Needless to say, practically all of them ended up learning a fairly expensive lesson. If you want to invest $10,000, buy a handful of domains which are actually worth it for 2 simple reasons:<br />
a) A domain with inherent value will always be in demand<br />
b) If you own about 1,000 domains, you’ll end up having to pay around $10,000 yearly in registration fees. If you own 10, you’ll only have to pay roughly 100 bucks per year in order to keep them all.<br />
<span id="more-139"></span><br />
<strong>2. Stay Away from Over-Hyped Extensions</strong><br />
Do a bit of research and you’ll understand why. Dot mobi domains are one of the best examples: people have initially paid a lot of money for them but as time went by, these domains started losing more and more value for one reason: the fundamentals just aren’t there, dot mobi is an extension which has been over-hyped and nothing more.<br />
The rule of thumb? .com is king.</p>
<p><strong>3. Avoid 4 Letter Dot Coms, 5 Letter Dot Coms etc.</strong><br />
At a certain point, 4 letter dot coms were available for registration and at the beginning, a lot of people started to register domains live mego.com, tevo.com and so on. In other words, domains which were extremely easily pronounceable. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of domains like those even if the fact that they are easily pronounceable does give them at least some inherent value, nobody can deny that.<br />
After a certain point, most of the 4 letter dot coms which are actually worth it have been registered but there were a lot of people who wanted in on the action. Since the good domains were all taken, they started to register the remaining 4 letter dot coms, domains which are anything but pronounceable. Seriously, try it yourself: pronounce FYQV.com, now say it ten times and faster. Needless to say, as soon as renewal dates got closer and closer, people who owned awful 4 letter dot coms started becoming desperate. Some of the sold them in bulk for like a dollar or two per domain, some have simply let them expire and the same principle is valid when it comes to five letter domains.<br />
<strong> 4. Always Go with Reputable Registrars</strong><br />
Remember what happened with registerfly? If you want to avoid situations such as those, stick with companies which have proven themselves and understand that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.<br />
Personally, since I own lots of extremely valuable domains, I prefer to stick with Moniker (the safest domain name registration company in my opinion). Even if I have to pay a bit more, I know that my valuable domains are in good hands and it’s definitely more than worth it.<br />
<strong> 5. Sell to End Users</strong><br />
You can buy lots of amazing domains on the cheap through domain name auctions and sell them for 10-20 times more to end users. Buy domains through auctions, sell them to end users: this is a strategy which works for quite a few people.<br />
A lot of times, you will have to explain why domains are valuable in the first place, so you need to understand that being patient is extremely important. Even if it seems that some of the questions end users usually ask are ridiculous, don’t lose your temper and calmly guide them through the process. A lot of times, an end users who does initially not understand why you ask for so much will end up reaching for his wallet after understanding why the domain name is valuable.<br />
<strong> 6. Take Advantage of Type-In Traffic</strong><br />
Most decent domains have at least some type-in traffic, so don’t just let them stand there and do nothing. Park your domains and if possible, make sure to also include a “this domain name is for sale” message on the parking page.<br />
Most parking companies offer something like this and it’s definitely worth it. Some domains will generate more than others via parking but why not squeeze as much money out of them as possible?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<strong> 7. Develop A Strong Position to Negotiate</strong><br />
If you rely on domain sales in order to put food on the table, you’ll never be in a great position to negotiate. Remember the iReport.com deal (the domain Rick Schwartz sold to CNN for $750,000) I told you about at the beginning of this article?<br />
Well, he managed to obtain $750,000 for the domain because he was in a great position to negotiate (he already had a lot of money, so putting food on the table was definitely not something he had to worry about) and as I’ve mentioned previously, most domainers would have accepted $15,000 or less for that domain with a smile on their face.<br />
Develop some websites at the beginning, offer some services online at the beginning or if you have a day job when you’re just starting out, don’t quit it just yet. A person who has to worry about paying off the mortgage and things like that is NOT in a good position to negotiate, be sure to keep that in mind.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.shahalam.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/domains2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-88" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="domains2" src="http://www.shahalam.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/domains2.jpg" alt="" width="106" height="161" /></a>When we need an appropriate and representative domain name to develop a &#8220;brand&#8221; of our business, we should consider many things. Mistake on choosing domain name can affect the less effective marketing efforts that we develop. Domain name must be accordance with the theme or the content of the website. Besides, the name should be available and really not be used by others. We can read it in ‘<a href="http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Finding-a-domain-name-for-your-client/" target="_blank">finding a domain name for your client</a>’ article.</p>
<p>If it could be not an easy thing to do, then, how to find a good domain name? There are some tips that I will share below.</p>
<p><span id="more-87"></span></p>
<p>1) Choose a domain name that represents your business</p>
<p>If your business revolves around buying and selling clothes, try to select a domain name that has an element of the clothes in it. Do not buy a domain with a name that had nothing relevant, even contradictory. For example, if you sell clothes, you can choose <span style="text-decoration: underline;">clothesshop.com</span>, and do not choose <span style="text-decoration: underline;">computershop.com</span></p>
<p>2) Prefer to select a domain with (dot)com extension</p>
<p>Why? (dot)com extension is more general and familiar to people than other extension, such as: (dot)net, (dot)biz or (dot)edu. Because of that, people will remember it easier when they typing in the browser.</p>
<p>3) Choose a domain name that easy to remember</p>
<p>Many web users who today still rely on their memory to open a site that once they open (and they like) before. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">freesoftware.com</span>, than <span style="text-decoration: underline;">freegenuinesoftware.com</span>.</p>
<p>4) Choose a short name of domain</p>
<p>In many instances, get shorter domain name, it&#8217;s better for your business. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">bookstore.com</span> is much better than <span style="text-decoration: underline;">staceyonlinebookstore.com</span>. Short domain is easier to remember and more elegant than a long domain name, even it much details.</p>
<p>5) Avoid domain names that use numbers</p>
<p>Do not choose a domain name that writing ambiguous, or can be written in many versions. For example: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">123.com</span>. If we don’t know yet, we may have multi interpreted about it. It could be: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">123.com</span>, or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">onetwothree.com</span>, or maybe <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one2three.com</span>. Confusing, isn’t it?</p>
<p>6) Avoid clashes with copyright or trade mark issues</p>
<p>Try not to use the domain names of existing copyrights, famous brand or having trade marks. If we are not a person who has access to wear brand &#8220;Honda&#8221;, then do not ever make a domain with the name &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">honda-shop.com</span>&#8221; or &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">genuine-honda.com</span>&#8220;. We never know when brand holders offended by your domain name, and complaint to court over issues such copyright infringement.</p>
<p>7) For personal branding, use our name</p>
<p>We can already use our own name or your company name as domain name to develop. For example: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">jacksparrow.com</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">breadtalk.com</span> (for branded business). Do not use the name of goods, or another person&#8217;s name.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.shahalam.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Finally, use the &#8220;top&#8221; or &#8220;best&#8221; or the like for the website review</p>
<p>If you buy a domain that is used for affiliate marketing with the type of review, it is a good idea to use the word &#8220;best&#8221; or &#8220;top&#8221; in your domain name. For example: for web hosting review domain name, use the name: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">besthosting.com</span> or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">tophosting.com</span>. It could explained, that most people find the best web hosting on search engines like Google with keywords &#8220;best web hosting&#8221; or &#8220;top-hosting&#8221; or something like that. With a domain name similar to the desired keyword, your site&#8217;s potential to be on the home page search engines will be even greater.</p>
<p>I hope it will be useful for who will buy a domain name for the first time, considering points on the next domain purchase, or maybe who will make a domain name to their client.</p>
