    It all depends on what you're going to do with it, it's going to become great by doing nothing! So take action!

    Ideally, you should have 1 of your target keywords in your domain name. Depending on what you're selling and what keywords you're targeting, you may or may not have a good one

    If you're going to be selling those kind of things, I think it's a good domain name, there's retro in it and some old school wording :p

    Personally I wouldn't put slang words in my domain unless you're actually trying to rank for a slang word.

      I agree with Vulk. I have had an experience with slang in domain names and I don't feel they work as well. Especially for seo. Also adding a more unique name, will allow for a more branded identifiable website.

      I was thinking twice about that, what you said..before i got it, then i thought luv slang is trendy and young kind of word in a way.. and its a low comp in google keyword with 8,100 searches my store will be aiming at the younger crowd to say about 35 years old.

    I have to agree....

    I try and avoid the slang spelling of words as it could get complicated when trying to either spell your name over the phone or people typing it in wrong..

    I also avoid the word TWO and FOUR....lol

    However if you are planning on building a brand then maybe it would work.... Its hard to say with out doing some keyword and market research... :-)

    I think it's a decent name. Short + easy to remember, at least.
