I totally agree on the address with mixed letters and numbers o.O kinda confusing and I’m so lazy to rmb haha.. Unfortunately my name had been taken, had chose another shorter but memorable domain name, which had some special meaning to me(apparently appeared in my dream) ^^ Like what harsher mentioned, unique I think short-words URLs (not just letters) are better, especially for those Chinese blogs ^^”

Very nice guide, i’ve read your previous post about choosing a nickname on the internet too. It was a great guide as well as this one.

It’s important to choose a right word and name. http://somethingnewformetoo.blogspot.com is still easier to remember than http://snfm2.blogspot.com. That’s is a very good example.

I’ve seen a lot of them use mix word with number which makes it really hard to remember.

I agreed on HeheHunter. domain/sub-domain give better SEO.

Now, setting up a domain only cost you less than 8USD + RM30 for hosting.

It is so cheap. Why don’t buy your own domain rather than using those free blogging. They own your content rather you own it by end of the day.

I must admit that a good choice of domain/sub-domain is important.

Besides that, there is a better possibility of getting indexed by Google.

compare Mobilephonepro.blogspot.com and mpp.blogspot.com

It’s undeniable that when it comes to search for mobile, Mobilephonepro.blogspot.com comes first rather than mpp.blogspot.com

Well, that’s just my opinion.

James, yeah long words could be annoying if you have to type too much so one has to balance between memorable + representation of company / personal + not difficult to spell. for example isitnecessary.com – not everyone knows how to spell “necessary” correctly.

Wayne, ditto about the domain name part. Great men think alike but not everything could be shared. I just realize you got your domain! Gonna update the link.

Danny, speaking of domain and company – I did come by people who wanted to have their company name with ‘&’ and also a keyword or 2 in the domain name. LOL.

I can’t believe I did miss this behavioural out of people selecting a domain.

Furthermore, we need to start thinking creatively in order to have the right name for not just the domain but the company.
