    Which name would be more valueable

    Hello,

    I was wondering if I could get some feedback on a domain name I'm considering registering for a "city".

    I currently have a choice of being able to buy a couple versions of a city name... the true spelling of the city name has already been taken, but I can currently register;

    CityOfXXXXXXX.com

    or

    XXXXXXXCity.com


    I was wondering if I could get some feedback on which naming version (CityOfXXXXXXX.com or XXXXXXXCity.com) of the domain name would be more valuable, and why.... any feedback appreciated.


    Thanks.

    IMO City of... but some would be redundant. Plus, depends on the language (since you're in BC, I'll assume you want it in English?).

    City of Boston would be better than Boston City but City of Oklahoma? IMO a lot of times, in English, City of ... would be better except in some cases (City of Kansas City?) but then Lawrence city IMO might be as good as City of Lawrence.

    I'd say register both to start off with just so you don't miss out. Promote City of ... and point ...city to the city of ...

    I would generally agree with "city of", but yes, get them both.

    Since common words like "of" are not given much weight in the algorithms for seo it would be better to just dispense with Cityof and just buy City.........

    That's my 2 cents. Buy them both and develop one and re-direct the other with a permanent 301 re-direct to the site.

    Good luck with whatever you do!
