Domain name and traffic

by J1mmy Posted: 11 years ago 2 replies

I currently have a reasonably placed community that is growing in traffic, and I have decided to change its name to cater to wider audience.

The problem is, I have shortlisted a number of potential names. These names either reflect on the community's niche, and you can tell from the domain name what the community is about, and the other names have more with 'branding' - whilst the names are loosely related to the community purpose, you won't be able to guess.

So, let's say you had a car forum - would you go for a name like thecarforum.com or 4wheels.com?

This is the exact problem I'm in. Whilst I can register all the domain in my list, I still need to choose one to host the site.

my recommendation would be to go with the one that is the most obvious to your target market ... you can get "clever" with other elements once they are there

I Would Like to Select It as thecarforum if i would have a car related website. it is good to have such domain for SEO as it will make your domain give info to the user what your website is about.
