Important!!!! – Buy your domain name
Comments(1) One of the vital ingredients of on line marketing is your web site which has to be attached to a domain name. This week I’ve been conducting on line marketing audits for agents in North Qld and one of the checks that I conduct is whether you own your domain name. Surprisingly I’ve found that in most cases the business owners don’t. Not owning your domain name is the same as not registering your business name, someone else can come in underneath you, register the domain name, effectively stopping you from ever using your own name for your web site domain, worse still, they can then try and sell it to you for exorbitant fees.
So get on to the domain registration sites today and buy, if they are available, your business name,your own name, and all the variations within your suburb or area of operation, and buy all of the domains, including the .com, .com.au, .net, .net.au and the .mobi versions.
Protect your self and your business.
If in doubt ask me via this blog and I’ll help you.
