Why To Buy That Other Domain Name Too

Many times we correctly focus on getting the domain name that is just right for our needs. Sometimes, though, it makes sense to get the wrong domain name too.

If you think you have the perfect domain name for your internet use, that’s great. But there may be traffic that you’re missing out on. Is there another domain name that you think people would confuse for yours? If so, is it available? If so, buy it today and put a redirect on it so it will forward visitors to your main site.

Sometimes people have poor memories or are legitimately confused as to what domain name they are heading to. Buying the wrong domain name is a way of capitalizing on these poor confused souls.

So, what versions do you buy?

Buy the plural of your domain name… unless you own the plural already, then buy the singular.

Buy the alternate spelling.

Buy the popular misspelling.

It may even be worth buying the foreign language or foreign spelling version of your domain name.

Don’t let someone else benefit from your hard work, register an alternate spelling of your domain to protect your traffic and website identity.
