Registering Multiple Domain Names: Good Strategy or Waste of Cash?

Is it a good idea to register multiple domain names for your website? According to the rules set by the .au Domain Authority, a person can register more than one domain name. Still, should you take advantage of this? This is an issue that many internet experts do not agree on, although both sides do have some excellent points. Just the same, registering multiple domain names can provide you with some amazing advantages over your competitors.

Registering multiple domain names will give you leverage if you are trying to preserve your brand. For instance, your website is involved in the selling of designer bags. If your domain name already flaunts your main niche (that is, designer bags), then you’re already off to a good start. However, you can still get a good hold on your market by trying to specify what you’re offering by having multiple domain names. Get domain names that flaunt your top selling bags, for instance. With several domain names, your website will appear more than once on the search engine results pages.

You can also use the misspellings of your domain name as possible alternate domain names. For instance, instead of just registering designerbags.com.au, register designerbag.com.au as well. This way, no matter what a potential visitor inputs, he or she will still end up on your website. It should be noted that this is actually a strategy used by Google.com—try visiting Gooogle.com and see where you’ll end up.

In short, with multiple domain names, you’re making sure that your key market will catch your website.
