A domain name is the www bit. It’s like a sign on your building or a license plate on your car. Every single domain name is individual and tailored to suit you or your company.

Quick facts about domain names:

• They have an annual or bi-annual fee.
• You can register more than one.
• You can register anything you like. Except with .au.
• They can help with search engine placements.

Why should I register more than one domain?

• Commonly misspelled business name. You should register commonly misspelled variations of your business name and the primary products your company produces so the customer will ALWAYS find you. For example, Blue Sky Media have registered www.blueskymedia.net.au, www.themandurahlife.com.au, www.mandurahlife.com.au and a few others!
• Different extensions. The common .com is international and .com.au is Australian but you can also have .net and .net.au. If you only own .com, you should register .com.au and vice versa. Same deal if you own .net.au.
• Email. All businesses should have a professional email address. Imagine how unprofessional yourbusinessname@hotmail.com looks! Make sure you have a proper email address and build rapport in the marketplace. Make it easy to remember too!
• Monitor your advertising. Use one address for radio, one address for the paper and one address for your business cards. Why? Because you can monitor the results through web statistics and ensure your advertising is effective.
