A Name For Your Web Site

A great first impression is all you need to get people to come to your site. If your site's name is boring no one will want to visit your site. If it's exciting, unique or confusing people are more likely to make the extra click to see what it's all about.

When I'm looking for Web sites to link to from my site I often have trouble naming them. I may wind up with more than one site called "Tom's Site" or "Ellen's Homepage". Then I have to find something unique about the site to add to the name so I, and you, can tell them apart when we see them on the page together. Sometimes this isn't easy.

When you are looking for something interesting to read and you go to a search engine and you come across these pages you will probably look right over them without even clicking. Or you may think they are the same site listed twice. Or you might think, "That sounds like the most boring site I've ever heard of". You don't want that to happen to your Web site, do you? That's why you need to consider the name before you publish.
