Need your expert advice please, which one do you think is better developed?

Can't decide between which name would be a better strategic invest in time and money on building out a site.
it's an age old dilemma between a brandable type name and a keyword rich generic.

The two names in question are:

[1] PremiumBusinessCards.org vs [2] CardsPress.com

On one hand i like [1] because:

. generic keyword rich
. product specific
. existing search volume
. medium CPC ~$8
. high google search results
. many ppc advertisers

CONS: 3 words, .org, restricted to specific niche (i.e. business cards vs any type of card)


i like [2] because:

. com
. two words
. short
. symmetry ( 5 characters per word)
. not restricted to specific category (i.e. business cards, or wedding invitation cards, ...)

CONS: not generic, no existing search volume, no CPC value


So which one do YOU like better and why?

I'd pick [2] in an instant if not for the plural.

If you're going for an info site to benefit from the PPC then definitely go for the .org.

If you're looking to build an actual business with the domain, find another .com.

thank you for your opinion, so cardspress.com wouldn't be a suitable name for a business?

Personally I wouldn't use that as a business but I'm sure more knowledgeable members could chip in their opinions. Good luck with your endeavor! ;)

if you are aiming at businesscards ..... the first one is more specific

The problem with the first one is the ext IMHO which is not the best choice for commercial purposes.

To be very honest if you are thinking of investing money on development I would also invest in a different name. :)

Good luck

I agree - the .org has the better keywords in the name ; but not very suitable for a .commercial endeavour :)

I don't like cardspress because of the plural form of "cards" in this context...

I second those who suggest looking for another .com name.

All IMHO :)

thank you all for your input,

i'm not too worried about the .org extension since it is a inspiration gallery site afterall and not a store, designed for driving traffic, however if it was turned into a online shop, you think people would not buy what they were looking for because of the .org?

cardpress does roll a little more naturally of the tongue than the plural, although it's not as bad as with some other words, also i think one advantage of the plural is that it is a catch all word in the search engines.

so which other .com's names would you suggest?
