Domain Name Scorecard

If you have started an online business, chances are one of the most important first steps was setting up your own domain name. Did you choose a name that described your business? Or maybe just a catchy name that would be easy to remember? Now that your business is up and running, do you feel that you made the right decision?

Having the right domain name can potentially affect the success of your business. If you are interested in seeing how well your domain name is working for your business, I would recommend taking a domain name analysis. It's a free quiz only takes about a minute to complete. After answering the 3 simple questions you are given a domain name scorecard, along with solutions for improving your score.

When I took the test, my domain name scored a 1 out of 10. Yikes! One of the suggested ways for improving my score was to register other available extensions. For example instead of just having a .com domain, I could also register the extensions .net or .biz. That's good advice, in my opinion. The quiz actually covers 6 key areas of domain name success. So if you have your own website, you really should try this out. It couldn't hurt and you never know what useful tips they might have for you and your business!

nowadays it's quite tough for us to think about suitable domain name cos almost all 1 dictionary word domain has been taken ...while 2 dictionary word with meaningful word also nearly become less...

.net and .info still not quite popular yet...
