Keyword Domain vs. Brandable

INTERNET MARKETING

I am looking to start something that I am hoping to scale to get really big.
The keywords used will not even matter in terms of seo traffic but will describe what is done on the site.
So should I do something brandable or go with the keyword domain?

I know I usually answer these questions not ask them but I can not decide.

#brandable #domain #keyword

Just my 2 cents, but I think if it is REALLY BIG, go for brandable. If you can combine brandable and the keyword even better. I am not sure if you were thinking long tail or just keyword in general like dogs.com If it is not going to be a niche site, I see no problem in making it brandable.

  I think keyword domain. Within your domain you can then start to then build your brand and messaging. So, take out both domains, but create SEO traffic to drive to your site, make sure your messaging supports the brand the you ultimately want to build.

I always think about how I am going to drive traffic. You mentioned keywords won't matter so it seems like you are going to be doing offline or word of mouth instead of SEO. If so, go for brandable like everyone else said. I would have never thought of Amazon for a book site or Google for a search engine, but now Google is a normal verb in American language.

Brandable would be your best bet. There are many ways to build a brandable site once you start as I am sure you are aware of. Throwing some keywords in there also would help, just as ones that are part of your basic keywords.
