Naming Your Domain - a TIP! Really!

Well, the recent news on getting a domain name going hard, to harder, and near to impossible - is finally affecting everyone - mostly those who don't have the  money for it. I'm with that group currently...

Anyway, I've come across a news article that tells some story of how domain naming is presently plaguing everyone, and not simply because you can't find a right name; it's when you do think of a name, and find that it's been taken, that's were the headache and anguish comes:
  • headache - that it is no longer available
  • anguish - that you don't have the money for it (to buy, especially if it is 'hijacked' by a domain squatter...)

But don't fret. Take the case of Flickr; when the group that started the company thought of the name, it wasn't that actually. It was Flicker, which is already taken. The guy who owns the domain doesn't want to sell, but the group wanted to use that name. The group brainstormed, till one of them decided to drop the 'e', making it Flickr - and the rest is history.

It is hstry afterwards, where vowels are dropped here and there.

For the full article, find that news article here.
Anyway, should you need help on finding a domain name, you can check this nifty apps: Find Me A Domain, by Eric Giguere.

Have you been affected by this recent 'domain name' plague, lately?

Find Me A Domain

Make Easy Money with Google: Using the AdSense Advertising ProgramI got into blogging when a choir member introduced me his, and persuaded me to create and keep mine. "An alter-ego," he said. That was 2006. It's been a long time since, and I've gone through a lot of reading and writing, and many other sort of things that a blogger usually does (or is it only me?)

One of the things that I learned is that with blogging comes adsense, or in websites there are ads. These usually bring in some money, big or small, through what is called click-ads. I learned that in a few books, but specifically in Eric Giguere's Make Easy Money With Google, who happens to also have created a web site using the books initials, so that is www.memwg.com.

How To Make Money With Google Adsense By Adding Simple Text Ads On Your Website: Making Money With Google Adsense Made Simple And Easy - AudiobookAfter I finished reading the book, I subscribed, and I've been receiving posts and articles that help me get informed and updated on anything and everything (is it really everything? well, almost...) about blogging.

Now, Eric is celebrating his 5th year on Make Easy Money With Google, and he has some nifty things to offer. One of these is Find Me A Domain program. It helps most when you are thinking of creating  a new website, and you want to check which of these possible domain names are still available, and which are already taken.

Getting interested already?

Check it out here: Find Me A Domain.
