Now that you have got some good names now it is time to narrow your brainstorming down. How do you do it though? Pick about ten (10) of your best names (you should have at least 100 of them from the brainstorming phase.) If you do not have 100 then come up with more. Ask yourself these three questions about each one?

Does it grab the viewers attention?
Will they remember it? (this is sooooo important)
Is there a desire to buy?

Avoid these mistakes for naming your domains:

Confusing Names If I look at it and do not know how the hell I am supposed to say it, it is a horrible name. Also, do not use complicating terms that the general public does not know. Like the word DUMBLEDORE. If you know what this is you deserve a gold star. Maybe not the best example, though. No I am not a Harry Potter fan, but I know someone who is and it is not me!

No Keywords Remember when I said if you learn one thing from this tutorial and that it is, it has to contain your keywords. Put your keywords in your domain.

Remember the name is the most important part. If you have visitors coming to your site and they do not subscribe to your opt-in then they will forget the name of your site. Not if you make give them a reason to remember it. Get creative and have some fun with it. I work in design and I know firsthand that the fun part is the creative part. Once I have a SOLID idea the rest is easy.

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)!
