Using Domain Names to Your Advantage

Posted By developer at 12/1/2008 12:00:00 AM
The most basic functionality of a domain name is to get people from Point A, their web browser or e-mail client, to Point B, your website or inbox. While this may seem like a simple task, rest assured that that is a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may think. In addition to this basic functionality, there are many additional ways to utilize domain names to help your business be more successful on the Internet. Domain names can be used for marketing purposes, to perform market research, to help protect your brand, and to limit your competition's web presence.

As the Internet continues to grow, the use of Microsites that are targeted toward specific products or marketing campaigns have become increasingly popular. These miniature websites feature specific detailed information that may otherwise get lost on your main website which can include additional images, videos, detailed explanation, informational downloads, and much more. However, before any of that can be built a domain name must first be chosen and secured.

The use of microsites can also provide increased trackability for advertising campaigns that may otherwise be difficult to track such as print, radio, or TV ads. By directing people towards a specific domain name other than your main website you can more accurately track the results of your campaign through your website analytics.
