How to pick a short, quality domain name which doesn’t exist already?

logoIn the last years, I have bought getseoideas.com, fiieficient.com, getaresultnow.com, olivian.ro & olivianbreda.com. This year betterish.com, audithink.com, oliii.com. While they’re not the greatest web site one could have, they’re, as “betterish” implies, OKish and, at times, betterish than other options.

How to create your own?

  • Find a keyword which clearly defines your web site – SEO / efficiency / results / Olivian / Olivian / better / audits / Oli.
  • Try to find an exact match domain. Olivian.ro is an example.
  • Try to adapt the words using either of these methods:
    • Add some letters – Oliii.com. For this, wordoid.com is an excellent tool.
    • Add full name – OlivianBreda.com.
    • Create complex sentences (I don’t recommend this method anymore, the first three web sites are closed, I don’t consider they represent my current ideas anymore -getseoideas.com, fiieficient.com, getaresultnow.com).
    • Play with words – betterish / audithink (again, wordoid.com).

Everyone would want o.ro or o.com, or something like that (very short). Even just SEO.com or results.com would be better. Since you can’t have this, try the next bext thing.

PS, 2024.06.21: A Few Ideas:

  • When choosing between a .ro and a .com domain, think about your audience. If you have an international audience and the domain name is in English, choose .com. If your audience is in Romania and the domain name is in Romanian, choose .ro. Previously, I had fiieficient.com, and I do not consider it a good decision at all.
  • Think about how easy it is to understand the domain if someone dictates it over the phone. Choose a domain that, if you tell someone, they can write it down correctly.
  • Regarding atypical words – Tazz instead of Buzz, Milka instead of Milk, Fulga instead of Fulg, and others like these – here you need to distinguish between users who hear about a brand for the first time and those who return. A brand like TripAdvisor is easy to understand the first time you hear about it. But if you order twice a week from Tazz, even if it is spelled atypically, you will probably appreciate that it is a word that is easy to pronounce, and you will remember that Tazz is spelled with two “z”. Think about your audience – do they order frequently or very rarely? It differs from buying furniture or apartments once every few decades to ordering twice a week.
  • Again, there may be differences depending on the consumers – some categories of consumers may prefer organized and clear things – TripAdvisor clearly understands what it refers to. Similarly, Booking. On the other hand, Expedia is playful, Uber makes you think, Flip is nice. You could have a very rational audience – they will prefer TripAdvisor – or a playful one – they will prefer Flip.
