To all of you who read and e-mailed me about my marketing do's and don't s post here on 4/29/08 I wanted to thank you for your kind words, additional insights and I also enjoyed the opportunity to look at some of your pages. Definitely some great stuff out there--happy selling to you!
I've talked with some agents who are just getting their website started or are just thinking about it...trying to choose a domain name, how to get started. I did some comparison shopping on just that and you'll notice here I have some links to the right.
I found that in ease-of-use, and cost/benefit there is a lot of value to Domain-It. I wouldnt have become an affiliate & posted them here to share with the entire ActiveRain community if I did not believe in them.
You can also transfer your domain name here and set-up auto renewal which is a great feature to have! There are actually software programs out there designed to crawl the web in search of domain names getting ready to expire with active traffic on them to buy them up and re-sell them or I guess make you buy them back or lease them.
I'd always wanted KevinWeaver.com but I guess I'll have to wait a while longer until the veteran dirt late model racer retires:) I've picked up a couple others to use in the future and brainstorm on ways to promote them.
It's kind of fun brainstorming about what names you could use, promote, specific to you, your community, your business and of course, seeing if your idea is taken. You can buy multiple names and have all them forward to your main page also.
Just as an example in a large metro area you could promote different suburbs/neighborhoods with a number of domain names for your marketing materials and have them all tie in your main page for MLS search and to view your listings in each of those areas. Not sure of all the technical aspects for that depending on your web host but I've seen more and more doing this type of thing. Being creative could be a rewarding way to find what works for you!
