Learn How To See The Availability Of Domain Names

Finding the right domain name can be tough!

If you're trying to make money online or if you're an accomplished online affiliate marketer you'll have to buy your own domain names. This whole process can be extremely annoying and FRUSTRATING when you discover that the domain names you want have already been taken.

Quick tips for buying good domain names

Getting the perfect domain name for your website is not an easy task. But, here are a few quick tips which I try to follow. Make sure your website's keywords are in your domain name. For example, if my website is about buying domain names I definitely want the words "buy domain name" in my domain name! This helps ENORMOUSLY for search engine optimization (SEO). Second, try to keep your domain name short. If your domain name is SuperCaliFragLlisticExpialidocious.com nobody will remember your website! Thirdly, avoid hypnens and dashes if possible because these can cause confusion. Finally, avoid using name brands and trademarks in your domain names for obvious reasons.

How to check if a domain name is available to purchase

I use a wonderful website called InstantDomainSearch.com. Basically, what you do is type in the name of the domain you want to buy and it will tell you instantly whether the .Com, .Net or .Org is available. If the domain is available you'll see flashing green. If it's taken you'll see flashing red. Note, type slowly. If you type too fast the website might not function correctly. In the short video tutorial you'll see me using this domain in action!

Really great information. I was thinking about getting my first domain, then registering my first domain, then learning about wordpress, then SEO... I guess little by little I can figure this out. This was amazing though. Great work.
