Go Daddy: “Register your domain name – before someone else does” (Infographic)

Go Daddy published a very interesting infographic on its small business blog.

“Politicians and celebrities are making headlines for domain names they DIDN’T register — opening the door for others to launch websites attached to domains with their famous names. How can you avoid making the same mistake with your online presence?”

1. You don’t have to register every domain name, but target the right names to reduce risk and increase visibility.
2. Buy the 10 most obvious domains.
3. Register names well ahead of a big announcement.
4. Forward domains to relevant website and social media pages.
5. Register domain names with a variety of relevant domain extensions (like .republican or .democrat).
