When you’re about to go purchase your new domain name, you’ve got to consider the benefits in choosing the right domain name. There’s many small factors that you can put into one that can completely change how you manage your website. It can lead you to a much sooner success or it can lead you to an instant downfall. A few tips that you should try when purchasing your next domain name should be as follow…

1. Short & Simple
   You’ve probably heard this most often but in reality, it’s true. Visitors would most likely prefer to type in a ten or less character domain name rather than a fifteen to twenty character domain name. Unless you can build your brand quite well, there’s no benefits in purchasing a domain name with many characters.
2. Use Keywords
   If you’re starting out with a brand new website and have a small budget or would rather spend less on advertising, then I would highly suggest you to purchase a domain name with the good keywords that will attract visitors to your site. Won’t this not only bring in a higher quality to your site on the search engines, but it’s a very easy way to rack up many backlinks under the keywords you’re working for. Who would not want search engine traffic?
3. Avoid Dashes
   Avoiding dashes in domain names is a great way to benefit highly on ‘word of mouth’ traffic. It’s not really common for a website that receives a lot of traffic to have dashes in their domain names but if it’s a must due to special keywords being placed in it, then I’d say go for it.
4. Use Preferred Extensions
   When you’re thinking of ideas for your website, you must include your visitors. They are what make up a major percentage of your website so include them in your thoughts. Many visitors are most common with the .COM extension but if your site is targeting visitors from the UK, then you would probably want to use the .CO.UK domain extension.
5. Avoid Taken Names
   If you truly want to make your website unique, avoid taking names that are already used. For example, if the preferred domain name extension of the domain name you want is taken and it has an established site there, then you wouldn’t want to create another site with the same name. But if it is taken and the domain name is parked or something like that, then I’d say feel free to use the same name with another extension.

Now that you’ve got some useful tips on what you should consider on your next domain name, try taking them into consideration when you purchase your next domain name. Using these tips can also bring in more value to your domain name. Simply by not following one of these requirements, the value can decrease by a huge percantage.

Being the second richest man in the US sure does bring quite a bit of popularity which has been proven to us by Buffett. Warren Buffet auctions out a lunch that anyone can have with him every year and then donates the money off to somewhere. This year, all proceeds happens to go to the Glide Foundation with a record high auction ever listed on eBay of $2.1 million!

That’s some big figures for only a lunch with someone but in return, you (the bidder) can possibly get a lot from it and it sure does go to a great cause rather than his own pockets. He has enough money already so why wouldn’t want to give it away?

Do you think that $2.1 million is worth a lunch with the one and only Warren Buffett?

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently switched the theme for the blog. I personally like this new change since it looks more professional compared to the other one and I have much more space to monetize the blog to fit the things I need.

The change isn’t complete yet and therefore, you will notice a few bugs around but I should have everything back to normal shortly. Instead of targetting this blog to strictly one category, I’ve decided to go out and make the blog a bit more personal. I plan to make this blog a bit more me!

Focusing my way to a wider range of topics, I will be able to discuss everything that has to do with me and the daily things that goes around while I’m doing what I do best which is to make more money on the internet. This will give you all a better insight on many new things so this should be a joy ride for you all.

If you have already started out or plan to start out in the near future, the key to online success is to spend less and invest more. In reality, you don’t have to spend a dime out of your pocket when you’re starting out on the net to begin making some money. I wouldn’t suggest spending money out of your pockets either because you are then tempted to spend it in useless place that doesn’t have much value. A few examples would include in e-books, non-targeted advertisements and overpriced hosting packages. It is possible to get cheap targeted traffic from great sources and it’s also possible to get cheap hosting plans that are from great companies.

You just mentioned not to use my own money and then titled the post to ‘Spend less, Invest more!.’ How can that be possible?

Consider the beginning stage of making money online your stage to learn how everything goes. You can easily build up a website, get free hosting and also get a free sub-domain name. It definitely won’t go far but this is the moment for you to gain some knowledge about the online business. While your at it, you will definitely be able to locate a few webmaster forums where there is simply online webmasters that posts on the forum.

This is where you can grab plenty of information and at the same time, make some quick bucks. If you are like others, you would rather spend your own money for domain name and hosting costs which can go up to $100 a year for starters, but why spend that much when you can possibly make it on the internet without much effort? That’s the best way to start out without paying a dime.

Once you are officially ready and know quite a bit of information, I’d go and purchase a top line domain name and a cheap but good hosting plan to start out my website. In order to spend less and invest more, you must be willing to the following step which is to use only a portion of your revenue and use most of it onto your website to help improve it. Results would increase at a much faster pace and it will only be a matter of time before you can actually start making decent money from your website.

This step may be hard simply because you aren’t making much from your website. In this situation, my suggestions would be directed at how much you make. If you’re making less than $100 per month on your website, then invest 100% of all the revenue you make back onto the site. If you make over $100 per month, spend 10% and invest 90% back onto your site.

Great results will occur once you get the hang of this. It may be hard at the beginning but eventually it will all pay off.

Now with every new website/project, you must submit goals in order for it to become a success. No matter how much you do, you pretty much won’t make it to where you can be much sooner without goals. With that said, I’ve written a few goals that I would like to accomplish to see how soon can I make a major hit with this blog. DatBlogger’s future goals include…

• Getting at least PR3 in next Google PR update.
• Receiving a minimum of 5,000 visitors monthly by August 2008.
• Rank number one in the following keywords by the end of the year…
  1) Make Money Online
  2) Online Success
  3) Make Real Money Online
  These are some difficult keywords but that’s why my time limit is expanded.
• Get noticed by many new and current webmasters!

Now that fulfills my goals. Some of these are harder to accomplish than others but with a little effort, I should be able to make it without a problem. It’s the effort that really counts so at the end, you will still reach success if you attempt to accomplish all your goals.

Have you set any goals for your site/blog already?
