hello all,i have question what is a good domain?

"Good" for what reason?

Hello Egodasa,

Are you talking about how long a domain should be? Normally a domain name is the name of a business if it's available. If a new business, a name is sometimes picked by the theme of the business but not always.

Generally the shorter the domain name the better. From a marketing standpoint it's a good idea to choose recognizable words and avoid short forms - they are easier to build your brand recognition and more likely for your site visitors to remember.

Better is domain is easy to remember and it has your main keyword in the name

Good domains can be sold for a five- or even six-digit sum of money. Look for such domains and you will see what makes them good.

The only thing that makes such names "good" is that some fool is willing to pay that sum of money to transfer it.

Why? I do not think so. For instance iCloud.com domain was bought by Apple for really huge sum of money. This is good for the for the former owner, I believe. As well as I believe Apple are not that foolish.

Think this is what the canadian was talking about.

And??

The "fool" in this case was Apple, and it was probably bought to protect their branding system of prepending a lower case "i" to common words to create a brandable trademark.

You might get lucky, there are probably people who have registered things like iCamera, iFridge, iToaster or iToilet just in case they beat Apple to their next product name!!

Hmm? now I wonder, if Apple did make an iToilet which way up would the logo be on the lid?

Domain "goodness" is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I would never pay bazillions of dollars for iToilet.com, but there's probably someone out there somewhere who believes that iToilet.com is a good domain name and that they wouldn't be flushing away their cash to buy it.

Think this is what the canadian was talking about.

Yes, "the canadian" was talking about this.

Sure the good or bad is the subjective vision. Good for Seo, for brands, for memorizing, for trade - these all are completely different domains, combining several qualities only from time to time.

I wanna say everyone is right here.

Nope, SITES and PAGES are the "real estate" Domain names are simply the address of the property.

That plot is much larger....when the tide is out....

I think that good domain name is something you like and other people remember.

My general rule I follow is that a good domain name is one you can remember. The easier it can be remembered, the better it is for visits to your site.

Your Domain name should be good and Unique ! It Effect on web site !

Like what?

Domain Name must be relevant to your site. A Good domain name will not bring you traffic unless you have quality content. So all domain names are good, if u have good content and good traffic.
