Why It's So Difficult to Find a Good Domain Name?
The allure of the world wide web with its ability to quickly open up global markets to smart ecommerce business owners with product and services to sell but one of the drawbacks is that the good domains are gone, right? The days of quickly finding several good .com domains have all but disappeared and it's getting harder and harder to even find good domain names with less attractive extensions like .net, org, and .biz. If you don't act fast, you'll be stuck with a lowly .info domain.
Hopefully that's not what you really think because it simply isn't true. It might be harder to find a good .com domain name than it was a few years ago but with a little imagination it's still not that difficult to buy a good .com domain name. It just might take a little longer...but then again it might not.
Recently I went shopping for some domain names and was pleasantly surprised at what was available. I created a DVD that shows how to create a DVD without spending a dime. Of course createdvd.com was taken but CreateDVDProduct.com was still available. Then I created a DVD that shows how to create customized DVD & CD covers. This one took a little longer but it wasn't more than a few minutes before I chose DVDnCDCovers.com and there were several other good choices available. Visit either one of those sites to learn more.
I have launched "How to Create an Online Video Course" at CreateVideoProduct.com. It didn't take long to find that domain either. Another product I just launched is the 3 volume DVD set "Webmaster Basics for Internet Entrepreneurs" but I have the domain: TheWebmasterBasics.com. These domains might be a little longer than I'd like but they say exactly what the product is and I've already noticed search engine traffic for terms related to creating video products.
I'm not always this lucky. Sometimes it really is difficult to find a good domain name but with some creativity you'll eventually find a good one. Try putting a letter or short word in front of your desired domain name like a or e or i or the. Use the letter n in place of the word and. Instead of an s, use a z. I did that with BlogCarnivalz.com. The key word phrase "blog carnival" is still in the domain. Use that lump on your neck and I'm sure you can think of lots of other ideas. It just isn't difficult to find good .com domain names.
