The allure of the world wide web with its ability to quickly open up global markets to smart ecommerce business owners with product and services to sell but one of the drawbacks is that the good domains are gone, right? The days of quickly finding several good .com domains have all but disappeared and it's getting harder and harder to even find good domain names with less attractive extensions like .net, org, and .biz. If you don't act fast, you'll be stuck with a lowly .info domain.

If you actually believe that, think again because it's far from the truth. If you just use a little imagination and creativity, it won't take very long to find a memorable .com name for your domain but it might take a bit longer than it did a few years ago. Then again, you might be surprised to find your first choice still available.

A recent personal experience proved how many good domain names are ripe for the picking. A domain for a product that shows you how to create a physical DVD (and have it produced & shipped) for free was first on my list. After discovering createdvd.com to be taken, I found my second choice - CreateDVDProduct.com - available. Next I went looking for a domain for a product that demonstrates the ease with which you can create customized covers for CDs & DVDs. This one was little more difficult but in short order I found DVDnCDCovers.com. Both DVDs are now being sold on the respective sites.

I have launched "How to Create an Online Video Course" at CreateVideoProduct.com. It didn't take long to find that domain either. Another product I just launched is the 3 volume DVD set "Webmaster Basics for Internet Entrepreneurs" but I have the domain: TheWebmasterBasics.com. These domains might be a little longer than I'd like but they say exactly what the product is and I've already noticed search engine traffic for terms related to creating video products.

I'm not always this lucky. Sometimes it really is difficult to find a good domain name but with some creativity you'll eventually find a good one. Try putting a letter or short word in front of your desired domain name like a or e or i or the. Use the letter n in place of the word and. Instead of an s, use a z. I did that with BlogCarnivalz.com. The key word phrase "blog carnival" is still in the domain. Use that lump on your neck and I'm sure you can think of lots of other ideas. It just isn't difficult to find good .com domain names.
