First of all, choosing a
perfect name for your blog is extreme important. Your unique blog and domain
name will attract and retain audiences; also the name will assist you in
promoting and advertising your brand. Choose a short and unique name in order
to be easy for you and your visitor to remember. Also your domain
name should
be equal to your blog name.
Define your blog
The first thing you should
know about choosing a blog name is to know what will be your target niche,
focus and what will you cover?
Majority of successful
bloggers target a particular niche. If your blog does not target a particular
niche, it may lose visitors. Note that your niche must be what your know more
and more about, like so that you will not run quickly out of article.
Make more research on your
niche online. No need to go to library.
Read newspapers, watch TV stations, read novel so that you will be competent in
your niche.
Make findings on your competition
Search for related blog in
your niche. Check how the blog name, description is and posted article
corresponds. Make use of related high ranked blog to compare with yours. Make a
research on how your blog will be different and high rank from others. Think
about your niche progress through your blog. Invite friends and relatives to
give you suggestions on how to be more successful so that your blog will
totally different from others.
Suggest possible names
Write down list of your
favorite blog names (list that you want to title your blog). Know the meanings.
Think about possible names that would help you in distinguishing you blog from other
competitors. However, find names that are unique and short, easy to remember
and related to your blog’s content. They are many blog generators online; use
them to create your suggestions. Use keyword(s) to generate your lists. Some
popular generators are: DomainFellow, NameBoy and PanaBee.
I also recommend search
engine optimization (SEO) tools to suggest blog names. SEO tools allow you to
analyze the amount of web traffic being search every time by phrases or
keywords and suggest related keywords. One of the powerful SEO tool is Google
Adwords.
Make sure your blog name is
unique and available. Do not use a blog name that already exists before. Search
for the blog name on Google search to be 100% sure that the blog name is fresh
and not being register. Let your blog and domain name correspond. Although, it
not necessary. You can later change your blog address to .com, .net, .org etc
on sites like Go Daddy, Web4Africa, Whogohost etc. you can also host and build
website with them or you should use the free builder such as Blogger or
Wordpress to host your blog. Make sure you have selected the unique and final
blog name before hosting. Don’t forget to make it short, unique and easy
remember. Ask for suggestions from other people that has being successful in
your niche.
After you have concluded on
a particular blog name, go ahead and register the blog. Design your blog to be
good looking. A good looking blog also attract visitors to return back to your
blog.
