I am starting this blog with what will be a very important decision you have to make very early in the path to building a successful business online. the domain name important or not question been going on for a long time but if you missed it I will make it clear:

DOMAIN DOES MATTER the size of the domain doesn’t!

so now that I got it out of my system let me give you some more information:

• lets take “baby sling” if you own the domain www.babysling.com (yes i own it) it is easier to get ranking for this specific keywords then any other domain. it is already well known that if you have the exact keywords in your domain name (ideally the exact keyword(s) is the exact domain) it will make it easy to get ranking. I can give you a lot of examples for that among clients that I work with are some premium domain name such as www.diamonds.com www.eyeglasses.com among site that I own are www.babysling.com www.newyorkgeneralcontractor.com and the list goes on… though I think you got the point.
• A premium domain name is easily brand able think about putting a billboard for baby sling on the side of the road and the URL is www.TheSlingStation.com or a site with www.babysling.com which one you will remember when you get back home.
  
• Also if you have this a domain that match your targeted keywords and you populate it with the right content (this will be a whole different subject that will come down the road) you will be come an authority on the subject. it is posibble to become an authority on a subject without the exact keywords in your domain but it is a lot more work and seniority.
