THE PERFECT DOMAIN NAME

[bayou]

from Forbes magazine… with added input.

Digital success starts with a great website...and a great website starts with a great domain name. Not prioritizing your domain name or picking the wrong name for your site can have dire, long term consequences, so don’t risk it.

In today’s globally connected world, it’s great to have a fabulous product, service, or idea…. but that’s not enough. You’ll need a website; not an app, social media page, or YouTube channel If your website performs well online, your business is on its way to success.

Here’s how to prioritize the domain name you choose for success…

1. make it virtually impossible for online surfers not to find you.

2. Catchy and clever are must-have features. (You are fighting to be seen amongst millions of other registered domain names.)

3. Keep it short

4. Read it out loud “eUs”, “eUs”, “eUs”.

5. Always use a dot com domain name for credibility.

6. Pay up! Going cheap for a second-rate domain name will be a very expensive mistake.

7. Make sure your domain name is easy to type, especially in today’s mobile world. Yes, internet users can get bored or confused when inputting a long, easy-to-forget domain name.

8. If you want to go big… really BIG… like global, then you must acquire a short, super-premium generic domain name. Otherwise, you will be boxed in and need to rebrand.

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

5. Always use a dot com domain name for credibility.

Seems the author of that article haven't discovered all the great possibilities with newww extensions, he is clearlyyy a "victim" of the ongoing ".com - brainwash".
But of course he also "praises" / recommends ".com" because his employer (Forbes) uses ".com" for their website.

You don't need necessarilyyy a ".com" for credibilityyy​

The "It must be a ".com" - domain" - "narrative" is in fact nothing other than a ".com - complex", or, shorter, the ".complex".

Wake uppp and realize it, there is more than onlyyy ".com" nowww

So logicallyyy I don't agree with this thread's title - because "the perfect domain name" is actuallyyy a completelyyy different one which has not much to do with the points stated in the article...

...but that's another storyyy (domain).​
