STEP 2 - Found an appropriate domain
Our second mission is to found our main domain, which should include our main subject expression (in this case sports)
To select an effective domain that will be readily picked up by search engines, I recommend you stick these important rules :
1. The domain name must contain your main niche term (e.g. “sports”)
2. Don’t use words that connote salesmanship (for example: sale, buy, cheap, etc. )
3. Choose an effective domain type: our first priority will be .com domains, Second priority .net, and our third priority .org. If possible, try to chose only from those three domain type options.
A very effective free tool for finding domains (but not not buying them!) can be found here at the Domain Search service . The Domain Search service is a tool used to search for current, expired and deleted domain names by keyword(s). Advanced options allow you to specify the placement of search terms in the domain name and to exclude particular terms. Following the initial search, additional options are available to exclude domains with numbers and/or hyphens and to limit domains to a specific length. The result set lists domains with their registration status at major TLDs.
After you enter a keyword, tweak and narrow your search using the advanced option. Hit “search” and you will see a large list of domain names that feature your desired search term. To locate an unregistered domain, look for the White circles (Domain is available for purchase and has never been registered) and Dotted circles (The domain name has been deleted and is now available for purchase). Other signs indicate that the domain is not available.
In the example above we chose bsports.net as our main domain.
