Creating an Address for Your Network Marketing Internet Business
Once you have decided to create your own network marketing internet business or any legitimate business opportunity on the internet, you will have to decide on an internet address and register it online. Creation of that address and how you register it is important and can effect your ranking in the search engines.Give it some careful thought!
The URL address that you create should contain your main keyword and so should your business name. Search engines like this and it helps improve your rankings. For example, if you are creating a web business to sell golf clubs and your main keyword is “quality golf clubs”, than ideally your web address should be “www.qualitygolfclubs.com” (or .net, .info, .org, .us, or etc). And, your business name might be “Quality Golf Clubs for Less”. Don’t be surprised or disappointed if you find that www.qualitygolfclubs.com has already been taken by somebody else. There have been over 100 million domain names registered on the internet, already. If it has been taken, you can change it slightly or add a hyphen (-) until you find a web address that has not been taken. Examples: qualitygolf-clubs.com, quality-golf-clubs.com, qualitygolfclubsforless.com, etc. Try not to use over two hyphens (one, preferably) and just be sure the URL address has your main keyword.
The extension that you use to create the URL for your network marketing internet business is important, also. Not so much from a search engine ranking point-of-view, but from a business standpoint. Most people are familiar with .com addresses. If you are starting an internet business, you want an address that most people will remember and it is easier for them to remember a .com extension than any other. The second best extension is .net. And, the third best is .org. To maximize your internet income opportunity, stay away from the other extensions.
There are many sites to register the domain name for your web site. The three sites that I prefer are GoDaddy.com, NameCheap.com, and HostGator.com.
When registering a domain name, always check the internet for discount coupons. GoDaddy is the industry giant and their standard cost for registering a .com name is $10.69/yr.. For coupons, check www.DealTaker.com and you can usually find a discount. I usually use GoDaddy to register a domain name when I can find a good discount coupon.
NameCheap.com is normally the least expensive site to register a domain name. They are user friendly and their standard rate for a .com name is $9.69/yr.. Check www.NameCheapCoupon.com for discount coupons.
Typically, HostGator.com is the most expensive site to register a domain name. Their standard rate for a .com name is $15.00/yr., but, sometimes you can find big discounts at www.RetailMeNot.com. When I start to register a domain name, I check here, first. I believe HostGator is the best site to host a web site and if I can also get a good enough coupon for registering the domain name at the same site, it just makes the network marketing internet business a little bit easier.
Besides creating an entirely new domain name, you can also search for and buy pre-owned domain names. You can search for and buy these at Afternic.com, Sedo.com, and BuyDomains.com. But, if you do this, be prepared to perhaps pay a lot of money. The most expensive domain name ever purchased was Sex.com which was bought by Escom LLC on January 19, 2005. They paid $14,000,000 for that name. So, decide how much you would be willing to pay before you go looking for a name for that internet income opportunity.
One other thing that you can do in searching for a domain name is to look at domain names that have been registered, but are getting ready to expire. Take a look at the site SnapNames.com to find a listing of these. If you find a name that you like, you will have to wait until it actually expires to pick it up. But, it can be a name source for that network marketing internet business that you are creating.
