The .com advice is soo true - in fact there is a conference called <a href="http://www.postiecon.com">PostieCon</a> in Las Vegas. It is a bunch of pro-bloggers giving free advice about how to get the most out of your blogs. Thank for all the great advice.

I agree especially on going for .com if you possiblly can and the "no hyphens or numbers" principle. Definitely a reference post, Sarah.

I <em>should</em> add that my very first domain name was alhena-design.com, which taught me several of the lessons I now share on what to <strong>avoid</strong> (hyphen, difficult to spell, confusing to speak over the phone, etc.). This whole online thing is always a learning experience, so I just keep these things in mind for future opportunities... unfortunately, that particular lousy choice is <em>still</em> costing me, because the domain got many links early on that I don't want to lose, so I've been paying for it for 10 years now!

Have to admit that my blog names are only part right, they are com-domains. I guess fortyplustwo fails on number four, connection to blog topic. Interesting topic and great advice.

I love it though and the brand recognition is coming, over time.

One other things I might add is checking your keywords for search volume, too. For example, I came up with a few different names for a blog that each utilized keywords I thought were good for my target market and tied intto my content well. Then, I used a search-traffic analysis tool on each keyword phrase and learned that one was search 180,000 times a month, while the other was searched 2.6 million times a month. So, all things being equal, I figured I might as well go for the one with 15 times the organic search volume. Thanks again for a great post and a hugely informative blog (that I just recently discovered)! Much peace, Jonathan Fields Great post, especially since I am in the process of naming two blogs I intend to launch in the next few months.

Everyone must have a good, descriptive, keyword-based blog / domain name. It makes it so much easier to find. On the other hand, if you're lazy, just about anything will do. Sincerely, The Guy Who Came Up With FRACAT Absolutely! Everyone must have a good, descriptive, keyword-based blog / domain name. It makes it so much easier to find.
