Significance of buying a domain.

First, When we use a blogspot URL our audience may find difficult to remember(sometimes).

Why do they feel difficult to remember?

My custom domain URL is :- http://www.krishnainfotron.com/

My blogspot domain URL is :- http://www.krishnainfotron-l.blogspot.com/

When I am on a custom domain, It eliminates the user to remember blogspot in the middle. Remembering a word may make our visitors frustrate that “Ah! How can I remember such a big/lengthy URL?” ( :P )

Second, due to blogspot’s CC TLD aliases, when you are on a custom domain, people won’t get worried/confused/tensed what the blog URL is actually?

Third, You can have your own mail ID like admin@yourdomain.com where, you can manually gain traffic to your blog.

How come?

When you share your domain mail ID in your resume, surveys and etc., people see yourdomain.com as a different mail provider and they try going to the URL. This really increases the traffic.

Fourth, Simply you can tell people that you have your own site. :P

Blogger Tweak - Open external links in new tab automatically
