Palm Publishers joins you in hoping that your book will be a commercial success. To plan for success, it's important to have the marketing strategies and tools in place that will help your work achieve that goal. One of the most important marketing tools is the internet. Accordingly, Palm Publishers attempts to secure the domain name that corresponds to the title of your book (i.e., if your book were named "Untold Stories", Palm Publishers would attempt to secure the domains: "www.untoldstories.com", "www.untoldstories.net", etc.).
Likewise, if there were an important character, an important phrase, or an important concept or theme in your book, Palm Publishers might recommend that domains corresponding to the character, phrase, or concept-theme also be secured.
Domains are not always available - there are already over 29 million registered domain names. Just about every word in the English language has been registered. The key is to be creative, but also effective, in selecting a domain name to represent your book.
Finally, Palm Publishers recommends that ALL of the popular domain endings (.com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, and .info) be registered. This allows for mirror site-forwarding; it also protects against someone else using your name.
Another strategy is to secure the domain corresponding to the author's name - particularly where the author has written more than one work. That way, the author can display all of his/her works on one website.
Palm Publishers uses our partner company www.LOOKMARK.com to register domain names.
