    Branding your business's name is vital for success since people will associate te name with some sort of image (whatever you are trying to portray)

    Branding is extremely important . . . and that's why people spend a lot of time choosing the right name for their business (online or offline).

    Speaking from a web perspective you can only have one searchengine.com but call yourself Google, create a kick butt search engine, and spread the word around and that brand can become very well known.

    I agree. Branding is EXTREMELY important and probably one of the most overlooked aspects of internet marketing.

    Absolutely it's very essential. Who would've thought a name like YouTube would be worth a ton of money if it wasn't branded?
