Thread: marketing help

Hi, am building a business website and i need to choose a suitable domain name because i figure if i can get the name right then the site would take of, right?
let me tell u the purpose of this site
1. To advertise land, house, cars ect. for sale
2. To advertise guest houses, hotels ect.
3. To advertise shops, restaurants, supermakets ect.
4. A little entertainment.
Am living in Jamaica, West Indies
and i would like the site to have the word "jamaica" in it
Thank you guys in advance

The name is one of the smallest parts of how a website takes off. You need to build the site properly, using proper techniques, then you need to market it properly.

Pick a name that will make sense for what you do and be easy for people to remember, but don't expect the name will make or break your business. If it was that easy, there would be no names available.

Thanks for your help....
okay am thinking of using beautifuljamaica.com or jamaicabeautiful.com
anymore suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks again

Oh! I thought you wanted a site to be of service, such as a marketplace, or an e-zine advertising resource that locals would regularly turn to find goods and services (which would give businesses a reason to advertise on).

These domains are currently available:
1. JamaicaValues.com
2. JamaicaValueShopper.com
3. BeautifulJamaicaMarketplace.com
4. ShopJamaica.com ~~ available as Premium Domain @ $1688.00
5. BestJamaicanDeals.com
6. JamaicanShopper.com
7. JamaicaShopperGuide.com
8. ShopJamaicaToday.com
9. TheJamaicaDealer.com ~ (I know, at first glance it sounds funny outside Jamaica, but from "dealings"!)
10. JustJamaicaShopping.com
11. JamaicaDealDirectory.com
12. TopJamaicaShopping.com
13. JamaicaBeatSheet.com
14. JamaicaLifeBeautiful.com
15. JamaicaLifeToday.com
16. JamaicaStreetBeat.com

BTW....I purposely listed these because if you play with some of the key words, you will find at least 3 vairants available for each, for a total of approximately 40 currently available domains similar to the few above.

And, there are many really nice Premiums available, some for as little as $200. I suppose it depends on how important it is to you to have a domain be so tightly tied into your site purpose and part of the natural Search value it can provide.

I also like the suggestion made by General LadyEye ("JamaicaLifestyles") as it sounds perfect for an online magazine format and is not priced as a Premium domain. Keeping "beautiful" in the domain name is not as wise, in my opinion, for it has nothing to do with what you said you intended the site to be: you can, however, create a clever slogan to include "beautiful" and better round out your business identity and establish recognizability at the same time (create a Brand).

Good Luck!

Irie!! nuh problem man! thanks allot
