Once I got the hang of this internet marketing thing, I found out about registering more than one domain name and got hooked. So, is this just a hobby of mine? Do I “just” feel like throwing a few hundred dollars a year on domain registration and renewal? It may seem like it… but there may be more to it than that. Read on…
Here is One Reason Why You Should Register a Good Domain Name if It’s Available
So your competitor won’t be able to
Look, whether you’re selling your own product or re-selling one as an affiliate, you’re bound to have competitors who are promoting a similar product (or the same product, if you’re an affiliate). If after you’ve done your keyword research (I use Micronichefinder to do this), you find a good keyphrase or keyword that has not been reserved as a domain yet, grab it.
If you find more keyphrases, get bulk domain search on namecheap and register them all if your budget will allow it.
You may or may not build a website for it, although it’s better if you do. The point is, you took a domain name that could potentially increase your sales if you were to use it right, and it didn’t go to another internet marketer who can milk the domain name better. If you’re really lazy (like me), you can simply park the domain until you feel like using it. Google adsense for domains works well for that specific purpose.
Some webhosts offer free domain names, by the way, like Bluehost.
