Hello ~~NAME~~

Welcome to another issue of the 1Source-WebMarketing Newsletter.

Today's feature article is titled "8 Tips for Choosing a Domain Name". Choosing your domain name is one of the most important first steps you will take in building your online presence. I have outlined some thoughts and ideas you can put to use in selecting the domain name that is right for you and your business.

Also in today's issue is a comparison of the Affiliate Business Blueprint by Jim Edwards and Rosalind Gardner vs the Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner. Apparently many people have had questions about the difference between the two products, since Rosalind wrote the Super Affiliate Handbook and Co-Authored the Blueprint with Jim. Hopefully this comparison will help clear up any questions you may still have. I own both products and they are each outstanding!

I am truly interested in what you think. I would appreciate it very much if you would visit my revamped site at http://www.1source-webmarketing.com and let me know what you think. I really do value your input.

Please don't forgot to download your free ebooks from the freebies section of this newsletter.

If there are any topics you would like me to address in upcoming issues please let me know. I am here to help and get you the information you are looking for.

I hope you enjoy this week's edition of the 1Source-WebMarketing

8 Tips for Choosing a Domain Name

If you're just starting out on the Internet choosing a domain name is one of the first major decisions you will have to make. I won't say that choosing a name for your site will determine the overall success or failure of your online business. It will, however, affect almost every aspect of your business. Finding a good domain name requires extensive planning.

I would like to offer some tips for successfully choosing a
domain name:

1) Use the .COM extension. This is still the number one choice for the majority of online businesses. While, .NET, .ORG, .INFO,.BIZ, and .US are viable alternatives they are not as widely recognized as.COM. The .COM extension will immediately give you and your business more credibility. Also, because we are creatures of habit many people automatically include.COM when typing in almost any web address, so why not capitalize on human nature?

2) Keep it Short. Whenever possible your domain name should not be longer than 13-15 characters, numbers, or hyphens. It is much more difficult for the average person to remember longer variations of a web address.

3) Make it Sticky. You want your domain name to be easy to remember. Make it stick out in people's minds. Be creative. Be Unique.

4) Minimize Confusion. You should never lose a prospective customer because they misspelled your domain name, or they used the wrong extension. If you can afford it, register other variations of your domain name and have them redirect to your main site.

5) Include Keywords in Your Domain Name. Try to include at least 1 and if possible 2 keywords in your domain name. Many of the experts believe this can help with the way some of the search engines index and rank your site.

6) Be Descriptive. Your domain name should have something to do with your business. Make it descriptive of your site, your product offerings, or your service.

7) Search for Deleted Domain Names: Domain names that were once registered but have expired turn up every day. With some research you might be able to find one of these names that would be a good fit for your business. You can search for deleted domains at http://www.deleteddomains.com

8) Check for Trademarks. You should do this before registering your domain name. Search as many existing trademarks as possible and look for possible conflicts. Obviously you want to choose a name that is unlikely to cause you any legal problems. Trademark research can be done at the following sites:

U.S Patent and Trademark Office
http://www.uspto.gov

Thomas Register
http://www.thomasregister.com

The Trademark Association
http://www.inta.org

Nameprotect
http://www.nameprotect.com

If you need help with researching your domain names try the
following websites:

1) Nameboy - http://www.nameboy.com
2) GoDaddy - http://www.godaddy.com

Both Nameboy and GoDaddy are well-known registrars and will allow you to search for and register domain names.

You can register a domain name today for less than it costs for a nice lunch. There is really no reason not to put forth the effort and money to register a domain name that you can begin building your online presence with.

Your domain name is your first chance to build credibility with your visitors. Keep in mind that you never get a second chance to make a great first impression.

Remember, choosing your domain name is one of the most important first steps you will take in building your online presence. Make it a step forward. Happy Hunting!

Affiliate Business Blueprint vs.
Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner
*************************************
Ever since Jim Edwards and I launched the "AffiliateBusiness Blueprint", I've been getting emails from aspiring affiliate marketers who know the stellar reputation of the"Super Affiliate Handbook", asking "Which one should I buy?"

Great question!

To answer that question for those who want to learn about affiliate marketing, and invest in only the best educational materials on the subject, I've put together the following to compare each product and help you make an informed decision.

I'll start with the "Affiliate Business Blueprint". The "Affiliate Business Blueprint" [ABB] gives you:

** TWO experts - Jim Edwards and I both have Proven Track Records For Creating Auto-Pilot Affiliate Businesses That Make Money... Lots Of It! I personally Earned $430,000+ Last Year Selling Other People's Products Online.

** 5 (FIVE) hours of audio MP3's. Some folks learn better when they HEAR information. We recognize that, and that's why we gave the teleseminar AND included both MP3's and transcripts in the package.

** Answers to Virtually EVERY Question you could ever ask about Affiliate Marketing! The Package includes 2.5 hours of Audio from the Teleseminar, and 2.5 MORE hours of Audio Recorded after the Teleseminar as we Answered 112 Questions about Affiliate Marketing from participants.

** How to Quickly Write Product Endorsements that KICK BUTT and Make Sales.

** Focuses on How to get Targeted Traffic to Your site - FAST...

** Discover Where to Find Products & Services Already Selling like Crazy...

In the "Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 Last Year
Selling Other People's Products Online" [SAH] you get:

** 280+ Pages of Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Information - A Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Affiliate Marketing on the Internet.

** The 'Setting Up Shop' Section includes a Brief History of Affiliate Marketing, Handy-to-Know Computer Codes, and Good File Management Practices. Also includes a List and Descriptions of 'Must-Have' and 'Nice to Have' Software and Hardware.

** Spreadsheet Data for Analyzing Outrageously Profitable Topics. OK, here's what Damon Zahariades of "Web Business Today" http://webbusinesstoday.com wrote about the spreadsheets included
in the Super Affiliate Handbook - and the book itself.

** A Self-Evaluation of Your Entrepeneurial Characteristics!

** 29 Ways to Promote Your Affiliate Sites Online and Off.

** An Exhaustive Glossary of Terms related to Affiliate and Internet Marketing.

In BOTH packages you will Discover:

** How to find, evaluate, and harvest outrageously profitable niche topics...

** The 4 ways to create "polished" web sites without spending much money...

** The flat out, iron-clad BEST ways to market your affiliate sites online...

** How to AVOID the Worst Mistakes that Affiliates make.

** How to Create Long-Term, 24/7 Income Streams For Months And Years On Total Auto-pilot!

** Basically, EVERYTHING You Would ever Need to Know about Affiliate Marketing.

So, which one should you get? Easy. Buy both.

For under a hundred bucks you're going to get 50X that much in value. Our consultation fees alone for this much information would run in the tens of thousands of dollars. And try buying a course in a local college about affiliate marketing. Can't be done. Even if it WERE available, it would cost MANY times more than what we are charging, AND it probably wouldn't be taught by two people who make their livings doing it every day.

Together, the "Affiliate Business Blueprint" and the "Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 Last Year Selling Other People's Products Online" are THE Best, Most Comprehensive Source of Affiliate Marketing Information that you'll find anywhere on the 'Net. No other package even comes close to offering this much information.
