According to TheFreeDictionary.com , a domain name is “a string of letters and numbers (separated by periods) that are used to name organizations, computers and addresses on the Internet.” A slogan is a “phrase expressing the aims or nature of an enterprise, organization, or candidate; a motto.” A tag line is “an often repeated phrase associated with an individual, organization, or commercial product.”
Keywords for Blog Domain Name and Slogan
When you create your blog, you must think of a domain name and slogan that will describe the nature of your blog and see to it that the words in your domain name and slogan are keywords that are search engine-friendly. For example, when I created my website/blog, www.gohotmoney.com , I followed the following steps:
1. I used the Google Keyword Tool
go - 151,000,000
hot - 226,000,000
money - 68,000,000
com - 2,060,000,000 (billions)
blog - 151,000,000
pixel - 6,120,000
banner - 11,100,000
billboard - 4,090,000
advertising - 20,400,000
one - 338,000,000
time - 226,000,000
one-time - 3,350,000
low - 45,500,000
price - 185,000,000
for - 1,120,000,000 (billions)
3 - 755,000,000
years - 30,400,000
2. I used the above words to create my gohotmoney.com website/blog.
3. And then, I created my slogan, Money Blog + Pixel Banner + Billboard Advertising One-time Low Price for 3 Years , to briefly describe what my website/blog is all about.
The technique is : create blog titles and slogans that consist of words that have high global searches and are search engine-friendly.
Buy Your Own Domain Name
When you open an account with WordPress.com, Blogger.com, TypePad.com, Movable.com or WildApricot.com to start with your own blog, you must purchase your own domain name from a domain registrar. The domain name that you bought cannot be claimed by others for a certain period of time until you abandon it by not paying the domain name fee.
If you use the free blogging service and you do not buy your own domain name, the domain name you are using can be claimed by other people by registering the name with a domain name registrar. There will be no duplication of domain name because your same domain name is not registered with a domain name registrar.
Let's say, you are using the free Blogger.com service and you chose the name “make money online ” for your blog. Your blog address will be www.makemoneyonline.blogger.com . Further, let's say that someone registered the name “makemoneyonline.com " with a domain name registrar. The website address will be “www.makemoneyonline.com .” And then, you decided to register “makemoneyonline.com ” as your domain name with a domain name registrar. What will happen is that your www.makemoneyonline.com is not available anymore.
So the technique is : always register your domain name with a domain name registrar whether you are using a free blogging service or not for your protection.
Whois Domain Name
According to Wikipedia.org , Whois “is a query and response protocol that is widely used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name , an IP address block, or an autonomous system , but is also used for a wider range of other information.”
The technique is : always buy your own domain name from a domain registrar that offers privacy for your personal information. With privacy service , your personal information cannot be seen by anybody; instead the domain name registrar's company information is substituted for your personal information.
I registered my www.gohotmoney.com with www.namecheap.com that offers Whois privacy service. When I visited the www.whois.com , I did not see my personal information. Instead, the namecheap.com information was displayed. Please see below.
