Made Up Words when Keywords Get Too Long?

[sjaguar13]

I am in need of a domain for a project I am working on. When I try to use keywords in the domain, the shortest I can get is around 17 characters. If I take out the keywords, I basically have nothing. Should I try to a made up word that sounds cool and be less descriptive, or should I keep looking at the keyword domains?

A cool short brandable type domain allows you to be able to expand and adapt into other areas in the future should you decide to. Short meaningfull keyword domains are usually alot harder to get a hold of for a good price IMO and sometimes don't suit expansion.

Go for a short brandable name that would sound cool even though less descriptive. A long keyword rich domain would be very difficult to type and remember for the visitors.

I agree with the others. Maybe try using only one main keyword and try to find a brandable variation of that one word.

If the keywords are spot on then the long name might be worth it.
eg absoluterubbish.com :imho:

If you want a search-engine-friendly domain, the longer domain with the keywords might be the way to go. However, a made-up name offers flexibility, brandability, and uniqueness. The only problem is finding a good one!

I once owned personalinjuryclaimsolicitors.com (in fact I still might)

Could have called it Crooks.com

I got mortrealty.com, mortgage is a long word for me and mortgagerealty.com was gone. so I picked up this one as a shortened name.
