Here is a list of techniques you can use to name your web sites:

Arbitrary Names-- They have no specific meaning or relevance. They are divided into two categories overused (Alpha, Star, Delta, and the ilk) and the underused (the rest) Here are some examples (Dominos Pizza, Adobe Software, Big Dogs Clothing) These names can have high potential and are widely used. Be careful these are high risk, high payout names. They are my favorite.

Imply It-- Following on the heels of 'Just Say It' we have the potent and logical technique; just suggest it; imply it, just evoke it. Here are some prime examples (Pepperridge Farm Bakery Products, Raining Day Bookstore, Campfire Marshmallows.) These are excellent techniques for the do-it-yourself namesmith.

Morphemes Name made up of one or more words and, or word parts, with the partial or complete meaning retained. Examples (CompuServe, Omnicom, Trinova, Qualcomm.) These are best for do it yourself techniques.

Numeric Consisting of or utilizing letters, numbers and other symbols. Examples (7up, 3Comm Corp, Formula 409 Clearnser.) Theses are especially popular for product lines. Remember this if you ever want to sell something with Clickbank. (hint: FatLoss4Idiots) brilliant in so MANY ways and look how well it converts, too! $$$

I hope you have found this tutorial interesting and clear up some issues you might be having. I am thinking about making a part two of this tutorial so let me know if you would like to hear some additional comments on it. I would appreciate getting some feedback! Always PM me if you have any question or need help naming your domain!

Later,

Garen

Hi Garen,

Yes, more info is always welcome. Hubby and I are tearing our hair out coming up with a name that grabs us (and is available)!
