]]> Comment on 6 Guidelines for choosing a successful Domain Name by Lisha http://abpages.com/blog/2010/03/6-guidelines-for-choosing-a-successful-domain-name/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Lisha Sat, 22 May 2010 14:27:40 +0000 http://abpages.com/v5.1/blog/?p=55#comment-2 Damien - This is all very good advice and I agree with it completely. Not mentioned in your item is the convention that's widely flauted these days by people deciding to save money or to convey the idea that they're "international".. that is, registering ".com" domand names instead of ".com.au". I know this isn't policed and it isn't enforceable but I wish it was. If a business operates in Australia, it should have a ".au" on its domain name. If it operates internationally, it might be entitled to drop the ".au" but I contend that it's pretentious nonsense for many businesses I've seen to suggest that they're multinationals. So for the sake of a handful of dollars, I strongly encourage Aussie firms to stick with the convention and be proud to stick the ".au" on their domand names. cheers mate. Damien -

This is all very good advice and I agree with it completely. Not mentioned in your item is the convention that’s widely flauted these days by people deciding to save money or to convey the idea that they’re “international”.. that is, registering “.com” domand names instead of “.com.au”.
