Before jumping into specific recommendations, let me just share a bit about how I picked the domain for my blog anastasiablogger.com. I spent thinking about my domain name about 1 hour. You heard me right, I didn’t spend 3 days or a week taking this decision.
I wasn’t sure for 100% about the main blog topic at the beginning, so I wanted to have a domain which doesn’t narrow the variety of topics I could cover later. At the same time, I wanted a domain that will be easy to remember, more associated with my personality rather than with a specific subject matter.
Now, that my story and it’s not just what I mentioned here that I kept in mind when picking my domain name. There were other important factors that were all taken into consideration.
And to help you pick a domain name for a blog or online business, I will share with you the best tips. Most of them are not based on any official statements from Google or other platforms that could be your potential future traffic sources, but they are the collective wisdom of many webmasters and bloggers who experimented, made mistakes, lost their time, tried again with new blogs, and found the best ways to pick domain names.
1. First, investigate!
Before you make any choice regarding the domain name, make sure that there are no popular blogs with a similar name unless you want your blog to always stay in the shadow of the bigger competitor. To find blogs with similar domain names, just google your domain without the .com or other zones in it and check what comes up for this name in Top-10 search results on Google. Also, check your domain name for availability in the major social networks. A great service that helps you check most of the social networks automatically is knowem.com but I’d still do my manual research as well.
Just start typing in your domain name in the search of Facebook or other networks and check the suggestions that are appearing.
