Generic Website Domain Names
Generic domain names are desirable to promote your products and services.
For example, genericwebsite.com is a great domain for marketing generic domain names and generic website hosting services.
Generic Domain Names / Domaining
Domain name brokers, domainers, and registrars are all possible sources for finding the generic name that is right for you. Some companies even offer generic domain name registration services. So if the domain you want is not available, you may want to contact a company or individual domainer to arrange for the purchase and registration of the domain you need.
Domain Name Monetization
Domain names are valuable assets. Some domains are parked for the purpose of driving traffic to the site which is loaded with pay per click ads.
Another way is to develop content for your domain name and build a website which attracts traffic. You can then place pay per click ads within the content. Targeted content will attract advertisers who will pay for the ads on your website. They know that content which matches there products and services will attract potential customers.
A Domain Name Which Matches the Content is Best
Content which matches a domain name will go a long way in attracting visitors to your website who are searching online.
Here are a few examples:
One website which provides content for visitors about making money is called Earn Bread. As the site says, "earn bread means make money" which is not a bad match: www.earnbread.com is about making money online.
Process Donations, www.processdonations.com, offers information to nonprofit organizations about processing donations.
And of course there is genericwebsite.com.
Generic Website
Genericwebsite.com is a good example of a generic domain name. Many website designers actually refer to genericwebsite.com in their articles and general discussion about website design and online education. It just seems natural, when teaching online, to refer to "genericwebsite.com" as a fictitious website example. The domain name "Genericwebsite.com" lends itself naturally to being inserted into many websites and typed into web browsers.
For the history of Generic Website, read the page About Us. But for now just take note of the fact that when this domain name was registered, virtually no thought was given to the fact that the name itself would create traffic. So if you can find a generic domain name which suits your needs, you can expect type in traffic to your site over and above the traffic that comes from promotion and Search Engine Optimization.
