Hi,

I'm buying a domain in the dog training niche for a client and both im looking at are available I just can't decide. What would you rather do.

note: I've changed things a bit to maintain privacy

trainyourdogfromscratch.com or trainyourdogfs.com

What would you pick? One conveys everything in the domain but is longer. One is shorter but the "fs" at the end is kind of random.

The overall keyword optimized throughout would be "train your dog from scratch".

Thanks a ton!

JT

      Hi, I also chose this way and I choose trainyourdogfromscratch.com in position 1 and seo keywords for it.

    I would also go for the 1st one.
    Random word or number can break things as per my experience and users wont be able to remember that name.

    Awesome! Thanks guys.

    While sitting down with this client we also noticed another area where we've hit a fork in the road...

    We used the google keyword planner and we noticed that "train your dog from scratch" had about 30 monthly searches when we found a keyword "the best way to train your dog" has 1900 monthly searches and the domain name is available.

    Which rout would you take?

    Thanks!

    I would go with the first one, would take less time to rank

      Thanks!

    It doesn't matter. Neither one will get you to rank any better or worse than the other. Personally, I'd choose neither and go with something more brandable. If my name was Steven O'Brian, I might go with obriandogtraining.com
