Help me choose between these two domain names!

82 replies
The two options are:

nutritionquestions.com
nutritionask.com

The first one is a real phrase, and easy to remember. The second is snappier and more brandable. Which one would you be more likely to click a link to, and more likely to tell friends about who were interested in nutrition?

    nutritionask.com

    short, and EASIER to remember. And building a logo around that/brand will be easier.

    "Yo bro have you been to nutritionask.com?"

    vs

    "Hey, you ever been to this site called nutritionquestions.com???"

    What sounds better? Lol

    If you are going for how it sounds, for word-of-mouth recommendations, then nutritionask.com
    If you're going to try to rank in the search engines, then I'd go for nutritionquestions.com
    People are more likely to type in search queries with 'nutrition' & 'questions' in.

      Personally I would click on any link that promised me the information I wanted.. so either name would not stop me clicking if the sales pitch was right for me.

      I also agree with the other comments already made. You also have the option to take both. This could be useful for split testing.

      Thanks everybody!

      Up until today, I was almost certain that nutritionquestions.com was preferred. Shows how much I know. Not that nutritionquestions.com is bad...it's a very direct name and will probably get some traffic, and I can try out some neat split testing like was mentioned above.

      Content time, phew....

    zenkamal,

    "Nutrition Questions" goes along with what people will type in to get info.

    I prefer the second one since it's easier to remember. It creates an effortless Recall to anyone. On a long-term basis, the 2nd option is more flexible when it comes to branding and marketing.

    Good luck

      How are you branding your site?

      If offline in magazines, billboards or print the shorter is better.

      If online marketing, then as long as it is not longer than 3 words you will be good. Very few people remember websites anyway. they click the link then go to the site. If they like the bookmark it.

      I have never went to Google and thought "What was the name of that site again"???

    NutritionAsk has a major flaw in that it's dyslexic – it reverses the order of words compared to how we normally hear them. Nutritionquestions.com doesn't have that issue, and since we tend to think in chunks of words it doesn't matter so much that it's a few extra characters longer.

      Just gonna throw out some thoughts for you.

      NutritionQuestions - this domain gives the impression the site is more of a FAQ type site where there are multiple questions that have been already answered. An info site.

      NutritionAsk - it IS nice and short but it sounds more like it's a search engine or place where a user goes to ask a question of their own.


      I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do but, you can always change the domain. Get busy with your content!

      Wow, this is a tight race. And the feedback has been super helpful. This is my summary of what everyone has suggested plus my thoughts:

      Nutritionask.com advantages:
      -Snappy
      -Brandable
      -Makes people think of asking questions

      Nutritionask.com disadvantages:
      -Dyslexic
      -Abrupt
      -If you say it fast, it sounds like "Nutrition Ass"

      Nutritionquestions.com advantages:
      -It's a natural phrase
      -Maybe some SERP juice

      Nutritionquestions.com disadvantages:
      -50% longer (18 characters)
      -Kinda generic, not so brandable

      I'd like to choose by the end of this week. Any other opinions?

    And, if you're going for organic traffic, it also has more built-in SEO juice than NutritionAsk.com would have in the search engines.

    Good luck!

      Yeah, nutritionask.com is confusing to say and grammatically strange. Both names have some pros and cons, so I keep deciding then changing my mind. I'll most likely set a deadline of a couple days then choose. And develop the other one later maybe.

    What are your intentions of the site? List 100 Questions already asked with the answers? Let users ask Questions (wether it a forum or like a yahoo answers kind of way)

    ask is much more snappy, but personally I would go there to ask questions I had..

    So I think it depends on what your intentions are with the site. If your jut gonna do AM then maybe you want more "SERP Juice"

      The domain name will mold the intentions to some degree. At this point I may just choose whatever the majority prefers, since then I won't feel so much buyer's remorse

    NutritionQuestions.com is the obvious choice and, in my opinion, it's the only logical choice, since NutritionAnswers.com is already taken.

    NutritionAsk implies that you're asking nutrition something, which is just plain silly. One "fix" to that might be AskAboutNutrition but that's already taken too. And if you're thinking NutritionAsk because of the search engine ask.com, then why not NutritionGoogle or NutritionYahoo?

    All the great business men for the last 200 years have said you should name your business what it is, unless you have gobs of money to make it famous. NutritionQuestions is what your business is. NutritionAsk requires an explination before people even know what it is.

    A real live example is the real world brick and mortar business I helped my son build. He has 20 years experience in his chosen profession, and a lot of people know him. But, which one is best in your opinion "Robert's Place" or "Panama City Car Wash"? Which one, in your opinion, would require less advertising? Which one, in your opinion, comes up #1 in google whenever anyone in Panama City needs a car wash?

    The point is, don't let your ego cause you to name your business wrong. Or don't name it wrong just because you think something is cool. Your business is questions about nutrition (hopefully answered). The only logical choice is NutritionQuestions.com

    But, I could be wrong, I've only been making my living on the Internet since 1996, and I was wrong once. :-)

      You're the first one to have a very strong opinion in favor of nutritionquestions.com, and it's a logical one. It was my initial choice because of how straight-forward it is, but then 70% of people said they prefer nutritionask, and then yadda yadda yadda.

      I keep coming back to: what would I rather visit? I'd rather go to Panama City Car Wash than Robert's Place, and I'd rather go to Nutritionquestions.com than Nutritionask.com. BUT...my closest friends had a different opinion than me. So logic may not win the day. Unless I develop both of them.

      He didnt say he was naming it ask because of ask.com, somebody said he "Could" get a bit of free PR because of the famous ask.com (ask being a keyword ... As far as the second part of this ... REALLY? Thats just asking for a DMCA and the loss of your site.

        No need to get UGLY about it Dean.

        You think that google or yahoo might hit him with a DMCA complaint but Ask.com won't? REALLY? What makes you think that?

        And all those other sites you mentioned started years ago, when the Internet was different, and yes, they did have gobs of money. Even Zuckerberg was a nobody until he got his first $50,000 venture capital.

        And I wasn't driving anyone into the ground. I was just giving solid, asked for advice. Just because you don't agree with it don't make it wrong. So I guess the tally is still at just one.

        You should trust yourself. The first website I ever built, I sat and looked at it for almost a month before I put it up on the Internet. I had serious doubts if I should ever make it "go live". Then one day I just went for it and pushed the magic button. It sat there for 11 days and the whole time I was doubting myself. Then on the 12th day, it took in almost $1800. I took $180 and ran straight to the preachers house of our little community church and gave it too him to help fix the parking lot, and I've never looked back!

        I realized that day that I'm the very person I should trust the most! After all, I've got more invested in myself than anybody else and more to gain by listening to myself than anybody else.

        I'm not saying you shouldn't seek advice, I'm just saying that the advice you get should be weighed for what it is and who it's coming from, and should play a very small part in making your decision. You'd be surprised how many people you'll meet that haven't been on the Internet for more than a year or two, and have never made their first dime from a website, but they're eager to parrot all the bad advice they've gotten.

        Anyway, take everything I've said and everything everybody else has said, like my mom used to say, "with a grain of salt".

        Good luck with your new website, whatever you decide to call it!

          Didn't mean to come off ugly or snippy. And I do apologize for that. You are 100 percent correct, he asked for advice which you gave your opinion and everybody is entitled. To answer the main question you asked me .. No I don't think ask will because ask is too generic. As long as he doesn't make the site look like the .com or use any images to impose that he is in anyway affiliated with ask.com.

          I'm not the OP so I have no idea what his intentions are. But honestly he should just buy both and let the unsuccessful one expire.

          It's not quoted but you make a valid point in the remainder if this post .. Go with your gut and trust yourself .. An that's commendable advice and I hope the oP takes that to heart.

          It's a new day, let's make the best of it

      Hi zenkamal!

      Obviously, there are pros and cons for each. I'd make the choice based on two things: The purpose of the site, and what happens when you begin to type a search in over at Google.

      When I started typing "Nutrition Ask," nothing populated; however, when I started typing "Nutrition Questions," I got an auto-populating response as soon as I typed the "Q" in questions.

      That tells me it's a phrase people are typing in on a very regular basis. That's MONEY.

      Best of luck to you!

    As a bit of background, I'm a nutrition PhD student, so I can occasionally answer nutrition questions for real I worked on the 2010 vitamin D guidelines for the federal government, and have a specialty in nutrition and chronic pain, fructose and other sugars, and paleo/ancestral/whole foods eating.

    Thanks so much for the feedback everyone, it was a tough choice. Snappy vs SEO, grammar vs branding, lots to think about.

    Nutrition ask makes no sense to me. I'd go with nutrition questions.

      Alas, I repressed my personal inclination to go with nutritionquestions and went with the popular vote. But since I still like nutritionquestions, will be developing that later too.

    nutritionask.com is better for me. It is easier to remember and shorter. It sounds nice also. People could easily remember this.

    For me, if everything else is almost same, then the shorter the better. I would go for the second one

    The content matters more than the domain, keyword-wise. Nuritionask.com is far better and more brandable.

    Nutritionask.com is better. Nutritionquestions.com is more like an EMD so it's going to be more risky and less brandable.

      Nutritionask.com advantages:
      -Snappy
      -Brandable
      -Makes people think of asking questions

      Nutritionask.com disadvantages:
      -Dyslexic
      -Abrupt
      -If you say it fast, it sounds like "Nutrition Ass"

      Nutritionquestions.com advantages:
      -It's a natural phrase
      -Maybe some SERP juice

      Nutritionquestions.com disadvantages:
      -50% longer (18 characters)
      -Kinda generic, not so brandable

      I'd like to choose by the end of this week. Any other opinions?
      I'd be afraid of nutritionask as it could be perceived as an extension of ask.com

      Too close for my comfort...

    As I think you go for nutritionask.com because it has complete sense for visitors also you are offering them to ask a question about nutrition so you will be able to touch with your visitors and get more positive results due to this domain

    The short and obvious answer is nutritionquestions.com

      Consider your profiling sight also, let say if you have Facebook fan page or group then "Nutrition Questions" clears everyone easily than "Nutrition Ask".

      My go will be with nutritionquestions.com

    Nutritionask - it`s shorter. Easier to remember. That`s what i would chose. But you could always redirect the first one to the second, and have them both.

    I'd go for nutrition ask, definitely a more catchy name, it would look better in the banner/header too.

    I don't really think it matters. Especially on this one. People will focus only on the "nutrition" part because whoever will enter your website needs some serious information about this topic, they will not care whether the second word is "questions" or "ask".

    nutritionask.com . Shorter , in the point
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9069037].message }}
  • I'm actually surprised people are recommending NutritionAsk.

    I mean, I get the reasoning, but in this case, I don't think it has a very nice "ring" to it. NutritionQuestions, while longer and not a perfect name, has a nicer flow to it, in my honest opinion.

    But I think you can do better.

    Take a sheet of paper and write out about 50 possibilities down - sitting as long as it takes to wrench more out of your brain - until you arrive at one that just clicks. You may have to carry the paper around with you for a day or so. But you'll know it when you find it, and you probably won't need to check with anyone else because it'll just be that obvious.

    That's the process I usually go through when coming up with domain names (I don't target SEO beyond making it obvious what the site is about).

    And I always get compliments on my domain branding; I've even gotten paid to come up with names for companies and websites in the past.

    EDIT: My bad - just noticed that the OP already chose the other one. To be clear, even if I don't think it's ideal, I think you can make it work. Sometimes it is just better to get started...

    Hope it pans out and good luck with the site!

    silly focusing days or weeks on names.

    Get off your ass, and just get it done, so you can go and build the most important parts of your business. The real nitty gritty, the name is just a name, do not expect anything earthshattering or big money from just a name. That is where hard work comes in/

      Depends.

      In my opinion, if you're planning to create a real business, you take every part of it seriously. The name of your business is a huge part of your branding strategy and a chance to communicate your unique selling position in one fell swoop.

      This is why many authority websites that are making a great deal of money will even go as far as to change their name and move to a new domain even after they are successful.

      Yes, you're right that it won't do your work for you. But its potential shouldn't be ignored.

      You can also be working on other stuff during the brainstorming process, so it's not like everything else sits on the back burner until you come up with something.

      If it's just a "web project" rather than a real business, on the other hand, I suppose the webmaster can feel free to go with the first thing that pops into their head.

      To each their own.
