Protecting Your Brand: Selecting and Securing the Best Domain Names

Last month we covered how to select an excellent URL to help build your brand. Since April 26th is World Intellectual Property Day, I wanted to cover a few pointers on how to protect your own intellectual property, your brand, your current projects and even your future endeavors. Here is how you do it …What is Cybersquatting?

Cybersquatters are individuals or companies that buy registration rights for popular, trademarked and established business names with the purpose of reselling to the rightful owner or diverting traffic from the rightful brand-owner to other sites.

However, keywords in your domain name and in your title meta tag still carry a great deal of “umph” with the search engine crowd. So…

  • If you are rethinking your focus…

  • If you are concentrating on your best services in a busy real estate office…

  • If you are targeting your ideal client type…

  • If you are planning to accomplish your 2006 goals with your website…

…you should carefully consider the URL you plan to use.
