Which name to develop?

[locomo]

Hi

I'm working on developing a modest site about a 2 keyword healthcare related issue (like HeartDisease say) but I'm not sure which name is best to develop. Let's call the issue MyTopic

I own aboutMyTopic.com, aboutMyTopic.net and aboutMyTopic.org

I also own MyTopic.net and MyTopic.org and at the moment have no chance of acquiring MyTopic.com

I'm currently getting a few direct type-ins per day to aboutMyTopic.com.

Would it be better to develop at MyTopic.org where I have good keywords but not prospects at getting the .com anytime soon.

Or to develop at AboutMyTopic.org where I own the major variants and could point the direct type-in traffic from the AboutMyTopic.com

thanks in advance.. hope that makes sense

my vote goes to mytopic.net.

thanks for getting back... I guess I was thinking that the .org would lend some credibility

love to hear some other opinions about this.. anyone out there?

i will go for mytopic.net, easier to remember and 7 letter domains.

i would aslo go for mytopic.net. But you also have to redirect the other domain names to your site.

thanks everyone!

for learning purposes could someone explain why the .net is better than the .org (for developing a site around a specific health issue?)

Quoting gooster from the Gold.net & Gold.org thread :

"Although there are more .org websites on the internet, .net appeals much more to businesses, thus giving names such as gold.com much more value. For something like charity.net and .org, the .org would be far more valuable because it suits the extension perfectly."
