It is hard to believe that some one would choose not to have their own domain for a blog. The benefits that you pointed out are so high and the downside (money) is so little.

Of course the SEO of having a domain with the keywords you want to rank highly for pay for themselves 10 fold.

The main purpose of having a domain name that is clearly related to your blog’s topic is that it may help people find your blog through keyword searches, however creative blog name can make your blog becomes successful because it can separate your blog from your competitors as unique!

Good summary, especially about considering your audience — remember that they’re seeing the name, not you.

I ran into a similar problem and wanted to go through more domain names in less time, so I made a little Unix script that reduces it to 1 line. It’s up at http://troy.yort.com/short-fast-micro-whois

Thanks for this post. I am at the point of changing my domain name and have not committed to a name yet, so I wrote a blog about it to ask for advice. I linked your post in my blog. Appreciate any advice.

Good advise.

I want to start a blog for my baseball bat company and was toying with the idea of having it at a new domain or creating a subdomain.

i think now i will use a new domain that way it is one more site out there that link to my company.

Thats right. i have a website:
http://www.earnbywriting.com

This is really according to the theme of my website. I have seen that without doing any proper link building my site is on the first page of google for the keyword “Earn By Writing”. Notice that my domain name is having the same word:

http://www.earnbywriting.com :-)

Thanks for a great article. I have found it frustrating trying to find a domain name for my game blog since most good ones seem to be already gone. In my searches of the internet I did find the domain gameison.com offered for the mind blowing $15M dollars, is that really possible?

I would have been tempted to say this is a repeated topic and then, this topic is so complex that one needs a refresher every now and then. Thanks for the good job, brov.

If the name of your blog can be inverted to become a pen name is that good? I thought it was kinda funny.

I am curious about choosing a .biz domain. Why are .biz domains so expensive now? They aren’t that popular of an extension are they?

Wow Darren!
I am constantly astounded at the complexity and detail in your blog posts!
I wanted some info to present to one of my clients on ‘how to choose a good Domain name’ for their new blog and new if I came over – you would have something that completely explained the situation – as usual you did!
Now my only problem is how to provide your info without having an hour to explain to him (he’s a very newbie!)
I think I’ll send him here for a read and then answer questions.
I really enjoy your well written and informative blog – Thank You! – Kym
