Choose A Good Domain Name
By Brian Terry
Choosing a domain name might seem way too basic for a guide on list building. However, if you don’t have a trustworthy domain name it can affect your list building abilities in a negative way.
Your domain is important because you’re going to place your list’s opt-in form in several different places. Having a good domain will ensure that people visit your site in the first place, and see your opt-in form.
Some tips. Choose a domain that…
Ends with .com or .org (not .biz or .info)
Has no numbers, if possible.
Is easy to spell.
Is short.
Is not hyphenated.
You can purchase domain names at www.GoDaddy.com

Hi George, thanks for your message I appreciate it!
Here’s why hyphenated domain names are NOT the best way forwards…
Hyphenated url’s don’t look professional. They’re much harder for people to remember. They look like spam. They don’t look very appealing in the search results pages.
When you tell people what your domain name is over the phone or away from your PC you have to keep on saying “hyphen” every time you repeat your name (sounds like some kind of speech defect after a while).
Hyphens don’t help your search engine positioning. Search engines will still find the keywords in your domain name.
I’m sure others will disagree but this is what I firmly believe.
I hope this helps.
