Hello there. We apologize that this blog has been dead for quite some time but we are going to try and get back into the swing of things. My name is Owen Borseth, I am a software engineer at name.com, and I will be guest blogging this evening about our new domain suggestions tool. I think it’s pretty awesome. I even bought a domain or two using it, and I never buy domains.
Now lets say you’re a sweater knitter and you are chomping at the bit to sell your sweet sweaters online. Now lets say you’re an honest sweater knitter and you realize that your sweaters are not so sweet at all. As a matter of fact, they are downright ugly. So you wander on over to the best domain registrar out there and decide to find a domain name to hawk your wares. You type in “ugly sweaters”, because you’re honest, and find that uglysweaters.com is taken. You shed a tear. But before you give up and walk away, your dreams shattered, you see the shiny new “domain suggestions” link and you click on it.
Slowly, you type in the keywords you were hoping for into our domain suggestion search box and press the ever trusty search button. BAM!!
There it is, in all of its glory, vilesweaters.com. You know your sweaters are vile so you add it to your cart. Your wheels start to turn and you realize that maybe you should be selling your vile sweaters in other countries. Brazil perhaps? You notice the translations presented for you and you click on the Portuguese translation, “camisolas feio”. camisolasfeio.com is available so you add it to your cart as well.
You’re an enterprising entrepreneur and decide to see what people are searching for when they are looking for ugly sweaters online and click on the “GOOGLE KEYWORDS” tab. You see mensuglysweaters.com with an average of 1000 searches a month. Knowing that your SEO savvy nephew in Burbank can work his magic to get you to the top of the search engines for “mens ugly sweaters”, you add it to your cart as well.
And there you have it, one small example of how Name.com’s domain suggestion tool can help you choose the domain that is right for you. Whether you’re selling ugly sweaters, smelly socks, or want to find just the right keywords to target for just about anything, you can probably find something using this tool.
Until next time, when we bring you the ultimate Geo Domain finder, happy interneting (I know it’s not a word).
