Hi folks,

I would like to gather some opinions about the subject of picking a domain. I'm gonna start another website soon which is about a niche which is new and trending. My goal is to build a authority website, my first one with the idea for long term result.

I'm only having doubts about the domain, should I pick a EMD or more something which can be branded? The best choose would be a aged EMD this is how ever impossible. Because the product is new and the ones which are for sale (3-5 years old) are >1000 US dollars.

So what should I do? Pick a new EMD and build from scratch or should I buy a aged domain non EMD from an auction which can be branded?

Thanks in advance!

p.s: I know there are plenty of threads about domain picking but I did not found any which fit my question or was explained well. Normally I wouldn't bother to start a thread about something like this. But since I want to start a authority website I would like to gather some more opinions.

    A lot of people are against EMDs but I can see that EMD websites are still getting some advantages. I do not know your target keyword but if you can sort out a good domain name with keyword in it, it will never harm your site.

      EMD on certain websites are considered bad, think of automated blogs for adsense/amazon. This is something else, Im wondering if I should start with a new domain name which is EMD or buy an aged domain and brand it.

      Since I have some doubts I started this thread with the idea someone might give some bright ideas

      So the choose is basically: older non keyword domain, but good for branding OR new domain with keywords.

    if you are going for a site and model it as an authority site, a domain name that sounds good and can be branded would be you best bet.
