The reason you ALWAYS search for at least one keyword to include in your domain is simple. Don’t take this as a critisizim but you are overlooking the power of the keyword in the domain and the ability of the keyword to drive traffic to your site.

When people are linking back to you they nearly always include the keyword of your domain in the anchor text. And this is nearly always beyond your control

So if you choose not to register a domain with a keyword you loose the built in benefit of the automatic anchor text.

Barbara,
Great article and ideal for anyone wanting to set up a WordPress blog.

Only think I would add is just because you are in the UK, don’t tie yourself to UK or EU based domain registrars. Even with the dollar weakening against the pound, there are some great deals to be had in the US. I won’t mention them here, but I never pay more than £5 for most domain registrations. Far too many UK registrars give you a cheap introductory price and then sting you on the renewals.

And with most of the world on Broadband speeds these days, no need to go with a host in the UK or Europe either. There are much better hosting packages available in the US (with 24/7 support, so no problem there either).

I’ve put plenty of Ecademy members over on to US hosting giving them a far better hosting package at a fraction of the cost. Cheap isn’t always nasty…

And cheers for the 2009 (C) reminder.
Have a great 2009

Chris

OK – as requested, the above all in one neat 5 page pdf file – setting up a blog with WordPress for you. Do let me know if I’ve missed anything, or if something is not clear – really, I’d like these notes to be as helpful as they can be for you.

Also – what more do you want to know?
