Coming up with a well thought out domain name can be quite a task. You want to make sure that it’s perfect for the content of your site. After all, this will be the location of your website. So what are the main ingredients in the perfect domain name? Below I have created a guide to help you choose the domain name that’s right for you.

First of all, I want to start out answering the question that I hear a lot of people asking. Can you get good rankings with .info TLD’s? And the answer is, of course you can. Just because you have a .info TLD, doesn’t automatically mean that you’re not going to have a good ranking for Google searches. No matter if you have a .com, .net, .org, .info, or a .cc, your site can still have great search engine rankings, and be really successful. Yes, .coms are more popular, but they are also more expensive.

The key to having a great domain name has nothing to do with the TLD really. To come up with an excellent domain name you need to remember two key things. The first thing is that you want it to have good keywords related to the content on your site. This helps boost your rankings in search engines like Google. For example, if you have an online arcade, then you’ll want your domain name to have keywords like “Online Arcade”, “Free Arcade”, “Flash Arcade”, etc. The second thing that you need to remember when creating a domain name is that you want it to be pronounceable and easily memorable. I was talking to a friend of mine about choosing a domain name for another site that we’re going to be getting up in about a week, and he reminded me of this good guideline to go by when trying to create a domain name.

The perfect domain name is one that you can tell someone over the phone, you don’t have to spell it out for them, and they remember it with ease.

For example of this, you can look at big sites like MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, etc. These are really great domain names because they follow the guidelines stated above. I hope this will help you next the next time you go to register a domain name.
