OFFLINE MARKETING

Hello....I'm setting up a "Directory" of Mobile-Ready websites for a town and I'm wondering which Name "sounds better" to consumers;

MobileSeattle.com
or
SeattleMobile.com

I'm looking for a Name that Consumers will find "catchy" and be "more easily" remembered.

Thanks much,

Don Alm

  I like Mobile Seattle
  
  If you are buying domains, Claim both domains, and promote Mobile Seattle and if some one types it in the other way you can do a re-direct to you site. Also keeps comp away.

My vote is for mobileseattle, hard to believe either one is available. You should snatch em both up quickly and use the loser of this poll as another webproperty for seo. Netfirms has domains for just over half the price of most at $7.99.

At first Seattlemobile seems to roll of the tongue better, but I think that mobileseattle is better, sounds better. Sounds more professional to me, somehow,

You want to put your mobile keyword first. This will tell the search engines more accurate information about your site. It will not send people to a bunch of Seattle sites if you put mobile first. You might want to explore another keyword or keywords and buy a couple redirects around those other keywords and some misspellings.

I like SeattleMobile, but it also depends on what your setting the domain up for. Meaning, what you plan on doing with it. MobileSeattle sounds to me like you have Seattle about to move around! Just my two cents.

  Hate to be a wet blanket, but I don't particularly like either. Neither one really tells me much about what you do. If you are talking about mobile marketing, I would look at seattlemobilemarketing or mobilemarketingseattle. I know they are a little longer, but they are much more descriptive. The two you mentioned could relate to many things ... mobile service, mobile phones, mobility (seen those "Rascal" scooter infomercials?) ... etc.?
  
  Just an aside, I think a BIG mistake many warriors make is focusing on the technology/platform and not the marketing. Yesterday it was SEO, today it is mobile, tomorrow ... who knows? But it will always be marketing. And better yet, helping your clients get more customers. (But it's hard to put that in a URL )
  
  Thanks

Are these the actual domains you are considering? Because both are taken, one was registered in 2005 and one in 2002, are they yours?

  I'm looking to put together a "Directory" of Mobile Sites I'll be creating for each Town.
  
  Like a "Yellow Pages" of "Mobile-Ready" sites...with Alphabetical categories;
  Attorneys - Auto Repair - Bakery - Bicycles...etc
  
  And....not in Seattle. Could be "MobileTacoma" or "MobileMarshalltown".
  
  And....I'm not depending on consumers finding my "Mobile Directory" via Google. I'll advertise the Directory Site to certain groups of consumers.
  
  I'm trying to get an idea of what would sound "Best" to the consumers I contact.
  
  Thanks much,

Hi there,

In these days dont worry about long tail domain names, it will work towards your advantages as google bot reads your domain name too as part of keywords. Take my advise purchase few more and make them redirect to your main url , it will help!

Have fun.
