What Is The Best Domain Name For Your Blog?
This topic is a bit controversial.
 There are no rights and wrongs, just opinion.
 Most of the time, you see people registered their name as the domain for their blog.
Well…. this is fine and well if we are blogging for fun and for leisure.
What if you are an internet marketer and you are using a blog to promote yourself, your business and your products/services?
In my opinion, it is not appropriate to use your name as the domain name for your blog in this case.
Hold the punch….. if you are already using your name as the blog name. I am just giving my opinion, ok?
The best way to brand your business is to do it under your business name or your product name, not your own name.
Why?
 What if you die? (sorry to mentioned this fact here, especially as the new year is coming. But this is the fact, we will die one day, including myself )Â
Can your business be pass on or continue by the next generation? Yes, maybe… but the impact will not be the same anymore.
And what if you want to sell away your business?
Will anyone buy over your already successful and profitable business it is brand under your name?
 As for your blog, what if you want to sell it away? Can you? Or rather, will anyone want to buy it? Oh yeah, people may want to buy it for the traffic it generated but as for business continuation, it will be difficult.
That’s why i brand my blog under the name “Embrace Internet Wealth” and not Yew Heng Chiong.
Yes, i have registered a domain name YewHengChiong.com which is redirect to EmbraceInternetWealth.com. However, i am still marketing my business under EmbraceInternetWealth.com.
This is just my opinion and i appreciate your comments and feedbacks here.
Generally i find, good domain names does not necessary have to be specifically special names, or personal names. In particular there are are sites that in fact does the reverse. Trend maybe?
For example, lets look at digg.com and del.icio.us
digg is not a word, it is means nothing unless you are referring to the website digg is hosting.
del.icio.us is not a top level domain but a sub domain and so how unique is that?
Now, are we thinking tangible or the intangible?
Bottomline, no matter its good name or bad name, it is how “it” brings it’s message to the market.
My 2 cents,
