// My question is getting more and more specific. Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions.

Dear All,

wordA and wordB are technical words with 500,000 keyword searches per month.

Which is a better domain to host my site? I have following options listed with each one's pros and cons.

(1) VCVC.net


+ only 4 letters.
+ first V=online/on ...etc. Remaining CVC exact abbreviation of keywords
+ pronunciable
+ brandable
+ easy to remember

- .net and not .com
- .com redirects to some chinese tourist site not related


(2) wordAwordBCenter.com

+ has exact keywords
+ easy to remember
+ .com .net .org all available

- long (21-22 characters)
- not brandable
- center / centre spell confusion?


(3) wordAwordB.in

+ exact keywords
+ easy to remember

- not.com country level .in
- target customers are global


(4) wordA-wordB.net

+ exact keywords
+ easy to remember

- hyphen
- not.com
- hyphenated wordA-wordB.com for sale expensive


Is it better to develop brandable 4 letter VCVC dot NET?
Or go for exact keywords?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

PS: wordAwordB.com is on sale for $15,000, wordAwordB.net for $7000, wordA-wordB.com for $270 on goDaddy.

.com is the king, but hyphenated .net is better than .in.

with "-" but be sure they're not just keywords. Google doesn't like that anymore

Thanks for your replies. Just one more question. Is it worth to buy wordA-wordB.com (with hyphen) or is .net equally good?

I agree with biggie & dnb8. First thing to consider is your audience. If it's indian, take the .in. If it's a global audience the you would do best with a .com. Is WordBWordA.com or even the hyphenated version, available. would a prefix work like The, My, or any other prefix/suffix work?

Dear All,
Thanks for your advice.
Stub: Unfortunately both wordAwordB com and net are for sale at goDaddy. wordBwordA com is also for sale. However wordBwordAs (plural) com is available. My market is global as it is based on a technical topic. What does your experience suggest? Is it good to redirect (dot) "in" site to wordA-wordB (dot) "net" site? I know that com is king, but what can I do? I don't have enough funds to buy them.

One more thing. wordAwordB is searched 550000 times per month. Whereas wordAwordC is searched only 15000 times.
Thanks a lot guys.

Personally, I would never develop a .net. I'd find an available .com. Try Searching for WordAWordB with a prefix or suffix. Yes. You should forward the .in to the .com

Dear All,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Stub: Thanks for the advice. I though of a suffix "center". wordAwordBcenter dot com is available. The entire domain becomes around 20 to 21 words long. Its easy to remember, but do you feel its tooo long? Or will it do if the content is good?
Thanks in advance.

It's a tad long but then I would think so because I prefer max 10-12 letter domains :) But it will do if the content is good and you have SEO'd the domain properly. Do you need both WordA and WordB to be in the domain name. Would WordACenter or WordBCenter be available, as an alternative. Using proper SEO techniques you could still use the content for WordA and WordB on the domain. I presume WordA & WordB are related somehow. Me personally, I'd look to make the domain name as snappy as possible. Have you tried any other (shorter) prefixes/suffixes? I like to have a choice to choose from.

You don't list WordBWordAs.com as being available anymore. I think that is the best alternative you have.

But just to take a step back. It doesn't really matter a hoot what your domain is called if you are looking for search engine rankings. You just need good SEO. Assuming you have good content for "WordA WordB" in your content, you will get a good ranking for those keywords. So you domain could be called WhoKilledRogerRabbit.com, it wouldn't matter. So my advice would be to look outside WordA, WordB, WordC in the domain name and find something short, generic, and memorable, and "brand" WordA, WordB, WordC into your choice of domain name.

I'd buy WordA-WordB.com for $270, maybe make an offer. It sounds like a bargain. That contains your keywords in the right order and the - won't hurt you. The search engines will treat WordAWordB.com and WordA-WordB.com, pretty much the same, except for the content. It will kill your type-in visitors, but then so would anything else.

Challenge Accepted!

Challenge Failed!

I could not find any such domain on GD matching even 2 of those 3 conditions.

@ -NC- - Word is only a substitute for the real word, unless you have psychic abilities which are beyond me :)
