The Big Adsventure

To get a good income from Google AdSense™ you need a lot of people clicking on your ads. You can not ask people to click on them for you, if you do you will be banned from the program! Also clicking your own ads is not allowed so be carefull the last thing we want is to be on Googles black list. So how do we get more people to click? One thing thats obvious is: get more visitors to your site. More visitors = more potential clicks on the ads = more income. Sounds very simple but anyone who has a website knows how hard it is to get visitors to a new website. I signed up with the AdSense™ program to make some cash without spending any, so buying links or traffic is not an option for me. The only cash I’m spending is on domain registration and hosting. This is money well spend: you can get your own .com for about $10 a year and if you haven’t seen any cheap hosting offers you must be blind! Once you have your .com and hosting your site will instantly look more professional: if I land on a page named

I’m gone before I read one single word on the site and I’m sure a lot of other people will too! I know a lot of domains are taken, but there are still good names available. To come up with a good domain name here’s what I do: Assuming you have allready picked a subject for your site write down words related to the subject. So maybe you want to create a website about skateboards, my list of words would be something like this:
board
skate
skateboard
halfpipe
kickflip
360
Ollie

I would also put down some words that might not be directly related to the subject but could work good in the domain name:
information
hideout
lunatic
central

Give it a couple of days and add some more words. Read the list over a couple of times a day and start making combinations of these words: SkateCentral, KickflipCentral, SkateboardLunatics. Make sure you have a couple of names you would want to use because some of the names on your list will not be available any more. With your list go to your favorite domain registrar and check if they are available. Once you find out that one of your names is available get it registered right away! If you wait a week the name could be gone, theres a lot of domain hijackers around that register new domain names every day just to sell them to you. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay $50 for a $10 domain registration… Thats all I have to share on domain names for now, next time I’ll get into the hosting.
