I agree with these points. Last week I wrote a guest blog for Blogging Tips about getting started with WordPress. It has a section on choosing a domain (#2) and covers things a bit differently but with many similarities.

Top-level domain selections is very important. And I’d recommend new domain buyers avoid dot biz domains like the plague!

I think you should also add a fourth. This is to say the name out load. Get a few friends to also say it. Is it easy to hear, understand and say? When you say it will people ask for a repeat or will they understand it.

This is very important people are often in a hurry and don’t have time to sit there and try to understand how to pronounce a domain name.

Avoid characters that sound similar. f and s, m and n, b and d etc…

But, many ppl. prefer TLDs.. like .com, .org.. Suppose if you are searching for a company’s website, you will automatically use these extensions..cheers!

Selecting the domain extension can be the important one. If you would like to target the audience of your region its better to go with country specific domains like .in, .au etc.., and having a short as well as keyword targeted URL makes it more effective.
