So you have been making entries like crazy trying to get enough posts to be able to promote your blog, but before you do there is something you might be missing. A domain name!!!. Sure you can post links to your site with the given domain name that looks something like http://www.blogger.com/nameofblog but this is far from the ideal URL that you want people to see. So the next thing you should do is get a free domain name.
A free domain name will enable you to have a domain that looks something like http://www.nameofblog.co.cc and not only will the domain name be shorter and easy to remember but it will also help your site listing on search engines. After adding a free domain name to my blog I noticed an increase in traffic in a matter of weeks and it made promoting the site that much easier. The best thing about using a free domain name is that you are not limited to just blogger or Wordpress, a free domain name can be pointed to any url on the internet.
If you go to http://www.co.cc and create yourself an account which only takes about 3 minutes you will be able to register up to 4 free domain names, and if you like you can donate $10 and make up to 100 domain names. However for most people 4 free domain names should suffice and if you want you can point more than one domain name to the one URL. Example: Make a domain name of www.funtoy.co.cc and www.funtoys.co.cc and point them to your blogger or word press blog. So no matter if someone accidentally puts on an "s" or leaves it off they will still be directed to your page.
This is how to set up your free domain name.
Step one: Go to http://www.co.cc/ and register an account
Step two: Type a domain name into the search box to see if it is available
Step three: After you have found a domain name you like click register
Step four :Now you have the domain name, you will choose option 3 URL forwarding
Step five:Enter the URL of your blog that the domain name will point to.
That's it, your done!!!
This domain name is free to use for as long as you want unless you are using if for business. If you are going to use the free domain name for business purposes after 12 months free you will have to pay $3 per year if you want to keep it. So why not start off free and see if you can make some money from your Blogger, Wordpress, twitter or any website. If you start to be successful you should have no problem paying the $3 annual renewal free.
