We make mistake in life , but one of the main mistake you can make that can effect your blogging career is your domain name.
Your domain name should be able to tell what your blog is all about.For Instance Abtech.com.ng the first think that come to mind is tech you will definitely know that my blog is about tech but if you choose to go with a domain name like Cliqbaze.com you live your visitors confused at you ignorance . You have to give an impression with domain name.

Things To Avoid When Chosing a Domain Name.
1. Letters Substitution - I have emphasize on this times without number why on earth well you write MUSIC Like This MUZIK ( Nigerian Bloggers Are Guilty) Or STARS Like This STARZ . Using Words like that in your domain name is not in anyway advicable, if your desired domain name is already in use why not go for another.Visitors can get an error message if the try to access your website with the right word spelling.
2. Domain Name - Yes , Not all domain name are perfect , some are close to perfection while others are far from been perfect.If you run a Nigerian News Blog using 'Naija' in your domain name is good because it tells people that your blog is for Nigerian news but if you run an entertainment blog with news from across the globe you then go about using domain names like 'NAIJACELEBS' Is that appropriate.? Use right keywords in your domain name.
3. Domain Relationship With Niche - Is your domain related in any where to your niche? What is the meaning of my domain name ? how will people interpret my domain name at first sight ?
These are questions you are to ask your self when purchasing a domain name.
4. Domain Name Word Count - How many word are in my domain name and how many letters are there all together ? You don't need a whole sentence as your domain name , Using 2-4 Words and not up to 15 letters is ok for you to come up with a prefect domain name.
5. Use Of Numbers and Symbols - You don't need a magician to tell you that using numbers and symbols in your domain name is a bad idea . If you must use numbers and symbols use easy to remember and generally recognise numbers and symbols ( like - 247 101 .etc,)
I Strongly believe that you will not regret the domain name you are about to buy once you have read this guide.
