How about "PinkRibbonTeens.com"? I like the sound of that and it suggests support.

Your name is advertising more than anything else. There are lots of cute names out there that do no good from a business perspective.

For what it's worth, in my opinion there are two primary concerns you need to address. Question one for a domain name should be whether it communicates your purpose. Question two is whether it can be remembered and entered decently.

Good success!

I almost lost you guys, revamped my computer and lost everything.....O.K. my question is....... i have all my info,site name, pictures,just about everything and thanks to lisa and james,( thanks alot), I did research on html and css ( Wow) o.k. To get the most traffic to a site or more people, would I start with a Graphics page that says enter, or just the information and buttons on the side to direct to the different subjects ? Thanks so much Debbie

I don't like "Enter" pages and here's why. Your homepage is the most important page on your site because the engines use that as a guide to what your site is about. So if you have an "Enter" page as your homepage then you won't have a chance to put any good relevant content there. So I always recommend having good information on your homepage.

O.K. Thats why I was looking for your web site, I like how it is set up. I'm learning slowly about html and css, so it may be a while longer thsan what I wanted to get my site up and going but your right, it's worth it. Thanks Debbie

Thanks, yeah I made it easy on myself and bough the template from dreamweaver-templates.net It already had a style sheet included so it really helped me learn CSS.

Lot of helpful information here.

I think the comment Lisa made about the opening page needs a star by it. Even though I am aware of the importance of content on the first page it is easy to use the page to point to information further into the site.

Both are clearly vital for several reasons. Thanks again, Lisa.

Good Success!

I hate to disagree with anybody but the first post suggest that you shorten your name. I really don't know if that is a good suggestion. Others are suggesting google keyword tool, that is a tricky business as well.

Heres why....

First, there is only one, yes only one, guaranteed listing in google.

That magic listing is "YOUR DOMAIN NAME".

The reason I really want you to understand this is that if you can register a domain of the phrase you want you site to be found by you are almost automatically in.

ex. if you want people to search Google for "I love monkeys" and you want them to find a website address "www.ilovemonkeys.com" you will have to do minimal to no work at all to achieve these results.

Don't beleive the hype, everybody thinks that there a google master and most don't even get listed there except in freak of nature search results, the problem is that they change what criteria is valid and how each peice of criteria is weighted to each other so often that you read an article and possibly by the time your done they have changed. There are some basic rules of google ranking but this is not the time or place for that.

OK

Now For the google keyword tool.

I just want all to understand that you cannot just go look at a list of keywords that are searched a lot and assume that they are good.

You must take into consideration if people are searching for what they really want to find ie hot dog, can be taken 2 different ways, not to be a smart arse but my point is that teen and breast in search results may need to be a refined and sensitive search topic, also the other sites competing for this word...meaning your odds of actually getting found by these keywords and finally there are other search engines, of course google is the biggest but do not discount other search engines, millions and millions of peope use them as well.

Sorry for the stupidly long run on sentence.

Oh, almost forgot for keyword research and stuff, get web ceo, go to there site or mine to get it for free.
