The debate rages. Some swear dashes in domain names send rankings soaring. Some have an ongoing love affair with underscores. Others are sure there is no difference. While I agree you do get a bit of a bounce in Google if you do this right - it's only marginal. Still let's end this debate once and

What's in a name? Everything! A domain name is the first thing that pops up when people are exploring through a search engine or directory, so it's important to come up with something clever that also spotlights the focal point of your business. By "clever," we don't mean a silly pun that will cause your face to turn red with

Belgium's Domain Name

On my little search for free and or cheap domains I came across the site www.dnp.in. A thread had been started about .be, Belgium's new TLD (top level domain); this struck my interest mainly because it was a free TLD. A few sites I tried out were:

www.ovh.com

www.eurodns.com

Eurodns is my preferred registrar of the two. Being that eurodns is in English not French. OVH.com may be viewed in English, too, but it's one of the most confusing register processes I've ever been through.

Why are these sites giving away .be domain names? Well, it's most likely to start a craze about the new option. I don't believe it will be in demand as much as an .us or .de due to the fact I hardly see any Belgium related sites. Perhaps the option of having .be as a tld is great because you could mess around with the name. For instance I registered the domain bestyoucan.be, silly yes but it's a potential sale for the Webmaster seeking a unique name.

I suggest taking up on the offer of a free TLD. Perhaps register a stockpile of dictionary term domains and sell them on eBay. Money is to be made from this. Sadly I don't see much of a craze for it in the future.

In spite of my low expectations I've registered 30 .be domains. Don't let the offer of a free TLD get past you! Someone may want to buy your oddly named .be domain name! If you can't do anything with it simply just let the domain expire with the year passes. There's nothing to be lost. You could even park the domain and make a few extra bucks off advertising.

Don't let my opinion throw you off. Do what you like. Personally, I think it's cool for now and it's great to earn a few extra dollars this year.
