Selecting the right domain name to market your goods and services is an essential step, but not the last one you'll need to take. Once your website is a success, you may have competitors attempting to replicate your enterprise. One way to keep them from cutting into your profits is to secure every catchy domain name that could be used to sell your products. For instance, Groupon might want to purchase chopandshop.com before Google does.
Another approach is to purchase a domain name from namesforyourdomains.com, build a clone of a successful website, and try to get the other company to buy you out. You could, for example, set up dialashyster.com and compete with lawyers.com by providing essentially the same information along with some more interesting content.

To protect your brand from squatters trying to poach your customers, you can also buy the .co, .net and .org extensions with the .com of any domain name in the Master Catalog.

Online Coupons:
Google is said to have offered to buy Groupon for $6 billion, and Groupon turned the offer down. There is big money in discount online shopping, but if you want to get your fair share, you will have to take on Groupon and an estimated 500 groupon clones. You need a name that will get you noticed.
