The Power Of Creativity In Choosing Domain Names

We ended with the example of del.icio.us in the last post. This kind of domain name takes advantage of the existing extensions. Is this a good way to create a domain name? I think that it could be – if you can come up with a word (or words) that makes sense and that is (are) related to your blog content. Some of the more popular domain names making use of this technique:

sear.ch
b.uy
tel.ly
beach.es
justcurio.us
designm.ag
podca.st
foot.ie

Why not challenge yourself to see if you can come up with a suitable domain name?

Another way by which you can come up with a creative domain name is using a slogan. Some experts do not suggest using this method unless your slogan is already well known. Think Adidas – impossibleisnothing.com. Then there is justdoit.com for Nike. Obviously, this method works perfectly if your slogan is catchy.

Now how about making up your own word? This is where creativity really comes into play. Anyone can make up a word or a phrase. Making that word or phrase stick in the minds of people is another thing. It works, though. Think Flickr and Digg. Even if these words do not mean anything, the sites have become as big as can be.

The bottom line is this: creativity is very powerful in coming up with domain names that people will remember. That is only one part, though. Even if you have the most creative domain name in the world, it will not mean anything if you do not have great content to offer and if you do not practice other SEO techniques. Still, with a great domain name, you are one step ahead!
