What's a great name for an internet marketing company (lots of different e-commerce sites)?

Answer 1

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.

The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...

I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.

I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.

Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I have tried pay per click for a couple of my websites... I think I was getting abused by competitors clicking my ads... but here is the really weird thing... I track my traffic very closely and there was no difference at all in during payPerClick advertising and after I stopped. And, while i was ppc advertising I still got charged for clicks but my traffic did not actually change at all after I stopped... I'm not sure what that is all about. Plus, and more importantly, it did not make a bit of difference in my sales. I've read a bunch about the SEO consultants and most everything says to BEWARE - most of them are scams especially if they make placement promises and performance guarantee claims. I think the best approach is good old fashion hardwork - get people to discover your site through networking, getting folks to link to you and such... Tell us more about your site! Are these your own products somehow? Or are you selling through affiliate relationships?
