    How to decide which name to develop

    Ok heres my situation.. I have about ten dot coms , a few nets, and of course
    the 25 infos just recently.

    I want to develop one (one for starters) so how do I decide among them which one would work the best and bring more hits.

    I have had them on the board and they are not worth much and actually all bad,
    but hey its my first week into this.

    Do I look at overture (which btw please someone tell me whats a good score on overture)

    and base it off that, or what?

    My names arent great but one has to be better than the rest, how do I fgure that out?

    Most domainers think a lot about that question.

    Pick the domain that you most like talking about, like a hobby or interest you have. Development takes time and patiance, this way it is less boreing. You also get to learn for the next site if you get bored along the way

    Pick the one that you never think about selling out.
    Good Luck!

    I would say to pick the one that sounds the best and is one people will remember. If you want people to come back to your site then you will want it to be easy to remember.

    develop something that you are actually interested in.

    It is too easy to ditch a project because you arent interested in the topic

    Re: How to decide which name to develop

    You should have asked that question BEFORE registering the domains. For now, your best bet is go for a .com; and if you really find them awful, go register a new one for that purpose. I sometimes even wait and bid on an expired domain just to get a good name for a project.
    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Re: How to decide which name to develop

    Develop the one that will actually make you money..go to overture or Google and check adrates for keywords...


    Develop in .Ws they stand out amoungst the sea of .com in the search engines meaning more people will click on them.

    Also important that it's a topic that youare also interested in..
