keywords can pay off.
Search engines parse inquiries
and compare against domain names so a domain name with the right keywords in
it can produce better results when searched. Do we believe this? This site

TIP: Be creative.
Adding "e" or "i"
in front of a name is very popular. So is adding "web" or
"net" in front or at the end of a name. Combine short, meaningful,
catchy phrases or words that describe your business or site. You can also use
numbers and a dash (-) in domain names. Domain names cannot begin or end with
a dash. Use dashes inside the name - search engines are reported to like this.
TIP:
Remember - as more and more businesses and individuals go on-line, the number
of good names goes down and down.
TIP:
Domain names can be an investment.
We've all heard of the domain names
that sell for millions and millions of dollars. Certainly all names won't
increase in value that much, but what could your names be worth in the next
few years?
TIP:
Search for good domain names.
All the good names aren't
taken. It's been reported also that over 20%
of the domain names registered in previous years went unrenewed!
Thousands of previously registered names become
available every day. Be persistent. Check
