Keep Quality Domaining In the USA
 |
An article posted at DomainNameWire.com in response to online businesses moving outside of the US jurisdiction, particularly the domain name industry. Here are three reasons why domaining should stay in the good ol' USA.
- US = Domain / Business Rolemodel: Call it patriotic but the domain name industry is one of the strongholding technological industries hanging tough during this recession. US registrars like GoDaddy.com maintain a legitimate business model, offer five-star customer service, and aren't asking for any bailouts. Perhaps other fortune 500 companies can take a hint when running their businesses.
- U.S. Law Protects Domainers: Under the jurisdiction of US law, many domainers are protected. DomainNameWire states that in some middle eastern countries, government has the right to seize domain properties in certain circumstances.
- United We Profit: Canadian, Australian, Chinese or European, it does not matter what country you are from. What does matter is that we all profit under legitimate order. US based registrars, domainers and businesses have set a great example that many companies can learn from. This is why domaining is hotter than ever right now.

Investing in Domain Names
Happy New Year To All! It's been a great 2008 and I'm looking forward to a prosperous 2009! And now for my first blog of 2009....
During this harsh economy, you can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, or you can take control of your financial future. However, I'm not talking about the stocks and bonds type either. I'm talking about good old Domain Name Investing with savinDomains.com.
We've come up with several reasons why businesses and individuals should invest in domain names:
• Instant Brandability- With the right name your brand is already built, e.g: CreditCards.com, Business.com. A targeted domain name can be used to protect your current brand, or promote certain areas within your business.
• Instant Credibility - Your domain name is the first thing people see. Business.com, gives out a far more powerful message than Getagreatbusiness.com. You can also personalise your e-mail addresses: Jane@business.com, looks much more professional and is far more likely to be opened than: Billstevens@hotmail.com.
• Easy to remember & relevant to your business = Repeat Business. More businesses are competing on the web, and to get noticed amongst the billions of pages you need to have the best real estate!
• Descriptive name– helps with search engine placement. It also helps if the domain is relevant to your business, both for SEO and also for customers understanding of what you do.
• Business Asset/Investment The name is a business asset that will increase in value as more Individuals and businesses come online. Memorable, Generic and Brandable names are rapidly increasing in value as people realize the need to stand out from their competitors.
• Minimize competition: If you don’t have a great name - you can be sure your competitors will. Work out the lifetime value of each customer you could lose by buying a poor quality domain name.
• Targeted leads– Can happen when you have a relevant and Premium name (e.g. CreditCards.com, GolfBalls.com). Because the name is short and relevant to a product. It’s becoming quite normal now for people to type your domain name into the browser instead of going through a search engine. (This type in traffic has been proven to convert up to 80% of visitors – whereas search engine traffic averages around 1-2%) – Hence your advertising Budget will be much more cost effective.
• The correct name is a Salesman working tirelessly for you 24 hours a day. Combined with this is the fact it’s an entire marketing campaign, that will never be outdated or irrelevant.
• If you are a new business it will enable you to launch your brand into the publics mind at a very low cost, and get the kick start you need to start compete in the global marketplace.
