93% of recruiters look at candidates’ social media profiles before making hiring decisions. In the fiercely competitive job market, will those hilarious selfies swing it for you? Create a positive online image with a personal domain name and your own website.

Your domain name is your company name, your online identity. But owning just your company name isn't enough. You need to create a powerful online identity distinguishing you from the crowd, gaining more exposure. Registering variations of your domain name is key to protecting the integrity of your brand and increasing your online presence.

This is a shout out to website newbies! I'd like to share with you a few pointers on setting up your website and choosing your domain name. Your domain name is going to be at the centre of your marketing campaign, it's your brand and it's going to be with you for a while.

Planning a branding revamp? Got the domain name you’ve always wanted, or tempted to change to a new domain extension? Cool, whack your new domain name on your website, reprint your business card, let’s go. Whoah, stop right there! Your old domain name might not have been the best, but it’s got good link juice…
