Your cyber address

However, on the Internet, it is entirely a different story altogether. Your domain name is the only single clue to identify what your online business is all about. You have no other physical identifications such as a physical location or store.

Other than your web address (your domain name) your prospective audience has no clue of knowing what your site is all about until they actually go to explores the websites themselves. For those who are new to the internet, who would ever know that eBay.com is an auction site? Or that Twitter.com is a social networking site?
