Step 32: 5 mistakes bloggers usually make while selecting a domain

5 mistakes bloggers usually make while selecting a domain:
  • uses their name as domain.
  • uses meaningless words/phrases as domain.
  • selecting a domain without searching for relevant keywords.
  • uses dash (-) in their domain.
  • uses long terms and keywords which are tough to remember.

I have used dash(-) in my blog address myself i.e.,
http://my-blogging-journey-step-by-step.blogspot.com/
Next time i will be careful myself because i think domain names with dashes do not get a very high page ranking in search engines.

Update on 6th of July 2010:
I have found out that URL's which have slash (/) in their domain names are readily rejected by Google AdSense. Do you remember my blog post in which I mentioned that AdSense rejected by application. Google AdSense send me an email which said

Your website must be your own top-level domain (www.example.com and   not www.example.com/mysite).
