Seriously speaking, by the time you come up with a domain name after some brainstorming using those tips, that domain name could have already been "hi-jacked".

So fast?

Yes, it is. According to statistics, there are more than 65 domain names being registered worldwide in every second. In other words, the domain name you want badly could easily fall into others' hands.

Speed is as important in domain registration as in fast food restaurant.

So, instead of following through those complicated tips that you found it elsewhere and lose your upper hand to others, why not just follow the 4 shorter tips outlined below, that is able to achieve exactly the same effect of getting good domain name that pulls traffic well and yet make it fast enough for you to grab it before someone else does?

Oh, there's a little bonus tip along the way to help you get your creative juices flowing. So, don't miss out on this. Read on...

1. Short
Most people are forgetful (including myself) and they hate to remember things. They usually cringe at the sight of long domain names and are impatient to type long domain names (e.g. "isellthecoolestsneakers.com") even though they're descriptive.

So, you should get a SHORT domain name (preferably less than 12 characters) that is so catchy and memorable that makes it easy for them to remember and hop on your website again and again and again... Look, your website traffic counter is spinning like crazy now!

Some people are complaining about the difficulties in getting short domain names nowadays. Not true. If you think hard and stretch your creativity, you'll find one.

However, if you really need help in that, this little bonus tip should help you think of a good, short name.

Now, you can use "iOne" as a starter for your domain name. It's easy because it rhymes with "I want" ingeniously.

For example, "iOneMoney" or "iOneHealth". They are short and they tell straight to people that "If you want money, visit iOneMoney" or "If you want health, come to iOneHealth".

What do you think? Did the above little tip helps to draw some creativity out of you?

2. Logical - 2 Ways
Make sure your website has a domain name that ties in exactly with what you do.

For example, you sell groceries online, you should logically register groceries dot whatever extension you want it to be (preferably a dot com extension because dot com is the most popular extension since internet was born).

Another way is to register your domain name using your company name straight, like Yahoo and Google.

For instance, if your company is called "Example Pte Ltd", you can (and in fact, you should) register your domain name as "example.com".

3. Spell Check
Losing money and your carefully thought-out domain name can be very easy if you're careless. Let me explain...

Let's say you intend to register "example" dot com, but you type "exmple" instead (can you see? short of 'a'). And without further checking, you proceed to purchase the domain name.

Oh gosh... but there's still hope if you realize your mistake within 5 days of purchase because accredited domain registrars generally have a 5-day refund policy for domain registrants.

If you only realize the spelling error beyond that period, too bad, you'll lose that money unwillingly and that misspelled domain name will be attached to you until it expires (the minimum lifespan of a domain name is one year).

No way you can go into the domain control panel to edit. The name is fixed once registered.

The worst thing is when you try to register the correct domain name again, it could have already been "stolen".

As mentioned earlier on, more than 65 domain names are being registered worldwide every second. So, that few days or even few minutes delay from you is long enough for others to hi-jack your domain name.

Scary? Yes, right? Then YOU MUST DO spell check! Double, triple or even quadruple check (before purchase) to ensure you get it right the first time you register for that particular domain name. NG is not allowed.

4. Register NOW!
Again, more than 65 domain names are being taken up every second. If you wait for X'mas, you may have to say "bye bye" to the domain name you want so much since millions of web surfers could be after it.

As soon as you come up with one that you think is good, REGISTER IT. Don't wait. It's cheap (less than 10 bucks a year only) anyway.
