Here are some simple tips on choosing that perfect blog name: 1) It should describe your niche: In most cases people will see your link address without having been to the site before.
The blog name should match on of the long-tail keywords that you have identified for your blog niche.
Make sure it is a .
com or .
net address.
Other domain tags are slow to being recognized by search engines.
2) It should be easy to remember: Stick with simple names.
Avoid dashes and misspelled words in the title.
Try to have the name be as concise as possible.
3) It should be equal to the domain name:This rule is often ignored by newbies.
If your blog name and domain name don't match it will make it much harder for people to return when trying to remember that site of yours they found.
I use Google keyword analyzer when picking a new niche.
From this list I compile the top 100 searched terms that have under 50,000 matches when I search for the same keyword in quotes on Google.
Start at the first keyword and move through the list until you are able to find a domain that is available with the exact match.
It is rare that there will not be one available from my research list.
If this is the case, I have added xxxtoday.
com and that has provided me with great results.
Stay away from .
org and .
info and other .
xxx if you are trying to actively produce an income from your blog.
Best of luck!
