Just like in everyday life, name recognition and location are very important in cyber space! If you have a brick and mortar business, the best way to have your customers find you in cyberspace is to have a domain name that matches your brick and mortar store. If you have a blog, get a domain name that matches your blog name. If you have a particular type of product, then you are going to want a domain name that reflects that. For instance if you sell Victorian Cards, you might want a domain name like www.victoriancards.com. There are a lot of domain names out there, but there are many that have yet to have been used. Give a gift that will last all year (either to yourself or an entrepreneur you know) by checking with a Domain name registrar.

.Pro Internet Domains On Sale for Holidays

Boston – December 5, 2007 – EnCirca (www.encirca.com ), domain registrar for .pro, announces a 25% discount promotion for all .pro premium domains. .pro premium domains are designed for all licensed professionals, such as lawyers, doctors, engineers, accountants, dentists, architects, realtors, pharmacists, financial advisors and industrial contractors. Self-employed professionals as well as professional service firms can use .pro to advertise themselves on the internet.

A .pro internet domain is a great gift idea for the professional in your life, including family members, co-workers and friends. The 25% .pro discount promotion ends December 31, 2007.

The .pro domain provides instant branding visibility for professionals of all types looking to promote themselves on the internet. Descriptive keywords in domain names are important for providing professionals a competitive edge in search engine marketing. Many professionals have found that .pro is the best option when it comes to finding appropriate keywords for search engine marketing.

“.pro is ideal for professionals who want to establish a unique presence online”, says Thomas Barrett, President of EnCirca. “A .pro internet address signifies someone who has credibility and mastery of their chosen occupation.”

The .pro domain can be used for a company’s name, brand name, trademark, or as a descriptive keyword to describe a commercial service. Search engines consider keyword relevance in a domain name when ranking search results. In the “Free-Agent” economy, where professionals frequently move from firm to firm, it is also used by professionals to secure their own personal name in .pro to establish a blog.

What is a pro?
pro stands for “professional”, a title bestowed upon someone who has demonstrated mastery of knowledge and skills in their chosen occupation or career.
