Picking a Good Domain

[JessicaWhite]

Right now I am trying to pick a good domain and have a couple of ideas on how to start. I want to do a fashion site for girls ages 18-25 (or women that dress like that ) I want a .com so I am going to start by looking up keywords that get searched a lot. I am thinking terms like "hot fashion" "new fashion trends" I want to see how they are searched by age but I don't know any programs that do that.

I hope I can then find some good sites that don't cost $1,000. I saw NewDesignerFashion.com for $9.99. That might be good.

Am I missing anything?

Jessica -

As Kevin and WestEagle wrote to you, you can just type in any keywords that are related to your niche - fashion - and a good free program is "Adwords Keyword Tool" that you can find here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

It's totally free to use and you can get lots of other great keywords suggested to you, that you can in turn, copy and paste into google, or whatever search engine you prefer and see hoe many searches are made each keyword that you would like to use as a domain name. Of course, you can use any name you want to.
Good luck.

Hi jessica,

Just keep some simple things in your mind before finalizing the domain:

1. They are short
2. They are easy to remember
3. They are easy to spell
4. They have a .com extension
5. They are descriptive
6. Or brandable
7. They don’t contain hyphens or numbers

There are plenty of examples of popular websites with domain names that lack in one or two points covered on the list. Just make sure that your domain has most of the characteristics and you should be fine.
