Below are some common questions and answers about the process of registering your domain name. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the information.
Q: Why would I want a domain name?
A: Having your own domain name is a prestige thing. Having a custom website address is pretty cool, and exciting, though it is certainly not required. Remember your domain name is just an address, and most visitors to your website will never notice your address. If you plan on doing any advertising outside the Internet do drive traffic to your website, having a custom domain name that is easy to remember can often be quite helpful.
Q: Will a domain name make me more successful on the Internet?
A: Probably not. The Internet is a point and click environment. Most traffic from the Internet will come from the Search Engines or links from other marketing efforts. Your keyword phrases, title, description and web sites content are more important factors in marketing your site on the Internet. Most visitors to your site will never notice the address. Don’t count on your domain bringing you any traffic at all. It is a prestige issue, not a marketing or promotion issue.
Q: What are the costs associated with a domain name?
A: The registration fee for a “.com” domain name varies from $9.00 to $35.00/ year. You can register a domain name with any one of the hundreds of registration services on the Internet.

A: You paid for it, and you own it for as long as you continue to pay the small annual registration fee. Your domain is portable, meaning if you decide to host your website elsewhere, your domain can travel with you.
Q: Can another service provider host my domain name?
A: Yes, whoever hosts your domain name, takes responsibility for it, and issues associated with your domain hosting.
Q: How do I know if the domain name I want is available?

Do you need a domain name for your business? Here are just
a few ways of purchasing one.
1. Think Up and Register Your Own Original Domain Name
Think up your own original name and register it at a domain
name registrar. Although this seems obvious, many people
feel that all the good domain names are already taken.
It is true that it won’t be easy to come up with a suitable
name that has not already been registered. However, with
some careful thought, you may come up with your own original
domain name.
For example, I once was going to buy a certain domain name
but someone else beat me to it. Upon reflection, I came up
with a comparable (if not better) domain name myself and
simply registered it.
2. Buy Already Expired Domain Names
Sometimes you can find the domain name you want from a list
of already expired domain names. (I did!)
Visit whois.net (or a similar site) to “Search through
deleted domains” by keyword.
This way you pay no commission (just the nominal domain
name registration fee) as you are simply registering a
“new” domain name.
3. Buy Domain Names on eBay
Another source of domain names is eBay. Look under both of
these categories:
- Computers & Networking: Other Hardware & Services:
Domain Names; and
- Business & Industrial: Websites & Businesses For Sale:
Internet Businesses, Websites.
4. Approach the Domain Name Registrant
Perhaps the name you want has already been registered by
someone else. Why not approach the domain name owner and
make an offer? The owner’s contact information may be
available on their website or from the domain name
registrar.
5. Search the Internet
Visit domain name brokers, for sale and classified sites,
forums, newsgroups, expiring domain names websites, search
engines, auction sites, and other websites to find your
domain name.
These, then, are just a few suggestions on where to buy
your domain names.

yeah ok so we all want to know the secrets of google, like when the fck they are gonna update all our pageranks? I mean how long can it take to produce a few billion billion results. its like counting, just bigger. I mean its not like they have a few hundred thousand seo companys spamming them with trick content, clever keyword placements and a torrent of ways to trick code into looking innocent when it hides pages of perfect keywords and google food.
So realisticaly we need to all take a chill pill, mainly because if google realises your an seo, seo related or just plain spamartist then itll probably spank you, spank you long and hard with an seo spanking stick comprised of excommunicating you from the world. visitors? hits? forget it. google is judge, jury and executioner. just wait for that page rank update, and hope to googod that its 0/10.
