How To Register And Host A Long Domain Name

In the past two weeks, the word has been spreading about the recent change allowing LONG domain names on the Internet. In case you haven't heard, competitors have extended Network Solutions arbitrary limit of 22 characters to the full 63 character domain name length that is allowed on the Internet.

The American Medical Association is one of the first groups to capitalize on this. The recent domain changes allowed the AMA to rename their web site to AmericanMedicalAssociation.com

I interviewed five leading Internet marketing experts and found out some interesting ways to take advantage of Long Domain Names. You can read the full report online at:

While you are reading this, keep in mind that top search engine experts are busy researching and grabbing ALL of the LONG domain names that are still available. They are using the information at GoTo.com to find out what people are searching for, then registering EVERY combination of domain names using these words.

I know this for a fact, because we just nabbed over 100 names for ourselves and while we were doing it, we kept finding that the names we REALLY wanted were already taken by other people.

Long Domains are so new that most ISP's are not aware of them. After hours of research, my staff found a free hosting service and a method to quickly launch a website with a long domain name.

It is amazing to see how few people know about this -- and how fast the names are disappearing! Don't be left behind...

Here's the strategy the experts are using:

1) Go to the following page and click on the link to "Search Term Suggestion List":

2) Enter any phrase or topic that you are interested in, like Real Estate. This is what you will find:
66261 real estate
1631 real estate listing
1556 florida real estate
1106 commercial real estate
968 maine real estate
890 real estate agent
866 real estate for sale
857 colorado real estate

The number tells you how many times last month these phrases were used in keyword searches at GoTo.com

3) Use these phrases, with-and-without-hyphens, because some of the major search engines will parse domain names with hyphens, looking for keywords. Here is what they would look like:
real-estate-listing.com
realestatelisting.com

florida-real-estate.com
floridarealestate.com

commercial-real-estate-agent.com
commercialrealestateagent.com

4) Check the availability of the names you want at:
http://www.longdomainregistration.com/

See if any of these names are still available. Combine phrases together if the domain is already taken. Like this:
florida-real-estate-listing.com
floridarealestatelisting.com

Here's why... this combined domain name will parse out TWO of the MOST popular real estate search requests: BOTH 'florida real estate' AND 'real estate listing'

5) Set up your account with an ISP that offers free web hosting and can get your long domain name 'live' in one or two days. Read our online report for step-by-step instructions:

Free hosting will help you maximize the return on your Internet investment. Especially if you are using doorway or hook pages as an entry point to your main website.

Smart netrepreneurs are gearing up for the Year 2000 with strategies for driving traffic to a site using multiple domain names and dominating search engines with keyword-rich domains.

In fact, my good friend, Michael Campbell, just helped a client register 800 domain names. Do you think this man has a plan? He just spent $48,000... you can BET he has a plan!

So do the guys who registered InternetServiceProviders.com...

How about you? Get started now and make Y2K the best year ever.
