Blogtomic - Learn the secrets to Blogging for cash.

Some of us know how hard it is to find the right domain name, one that is not already taken, short and catchy. A domain name is very important to your blog, it’s your branding. Sometimes this task can take hours. I have found that 90% of the domain names I search for are taken so it can be frustrating to find that name that fits the site idea you have in mind. This article should have been one of the series of my starting a making money blog, because it is an important element to any blog/site. I did touch a little on domain names in the first post of the series, but not really no how to find a domain name. Before I even start a new blog or site I always try to come up with the name to fit that idea.

The domain name usually is what I use to come up with the branding idea, logo and color elements of and site I do, but it all starts with the domain name. I have found a few sites that I use to start this process and make finding a good domain name quickly. These sites may also help you, but the process can still be frustrating with the amount of domain names already registered and you might have to try a few methods and go though a few names or related terms to get what you want.

The first thing to remember is that your domain idea is probably already taken. So what you need to do is determine other keywords that relate or are close to what your blog/site niche is going to be. The best tool for this is your Thesaurus, and the tool I use the most.
