They wanted a couple grand (with the same renewal) for my daughter's 4 letter uncommon first name.I have only one xyz domain and had to pay almost 100USD for a registrar premium 3L
You believe a longer .com is always best?Hi
i would consider a longer .com, maybe three or four words if appropriate
I'm launching a website on a .net domain. We will see if I regret it.but that would depend on the keywords of the name.
Yeah I use a .org for a charity project. I don't even know if we own the .com domain.might even consider .org, if it was relevant.
imo...
So you would do alternative .com domain @amplify?Mine isn't up there: It's usually neither shorter or longer, but an alternative in .com.
Ex: FunWarehouse.com is taken but MerryWerehouse.com isn't. Bad example as the latter could have a Christmas connotation but didn't want to spend 30 minutes finding one.
I consider that longer and alternative.I would say as Amplify and Biggie: Different / Variation / Longer .com (Longer only if Different and Variation don't get anything good). By "variation", I mean "Get...", "The..", etc. Not really "longer", but still a bit
Hope you didn't pay a premium @Bulloney.I was looking to register Navigator.com a few hours ago and it was taken as were the .net and .org. However I was able to register one of the few new gTLD's that were available Navigator.Online.
Automated appraisals should not be trusted..Probably a stupid move, but when I saw that Nameworth valued Navigator.com for three million dollars I thought I might take a leap of faith.
I hear you. What type of different .com domain?A different .com,
I hear you. What type of different .com domain?
You mean parking PPC revenue?I have a few cctld and a ntld but they all make money. I have two .net's that I registered years ago before I could afford the .com.
Good way to do it.I used to register a lot of key words, floridarvsales.com, etc.. Now if I can't find the name I want in .com, I look for a different subject. I don't want to spend money on a compromise.
Yep.You mean parking PPC revenue?

I would definitely pick an alternative, whether it be longer or shorter. However, I would try not to exceed 3 words with the first being something like "the" or "a" unless it has a jingle to it to make it easy to remember or is a commonly used phrase such as "Throw caution to the wind" (throwcautiontothewind.com).So you would do alternative .com domain @amplify?
Most people think they know about SEO and digital marketing.A lot of businesses use really bad domains. Plurals, dashes, numbers, etc. I joined car dealer forum once and listened to the "experts" that provide DMS and websites. I would ask a question and a two pages of copy and pasted SEO advice.
I only give domain and branding advice when asked.When I pointed out one of their clients was using a domain with a dash and a competing dealership had the better domain, which meant the dealership was loosing 10% or more of their traffic to it's competitor they freaked out and asked me WTF was I doing in their forum ( wasn't their forum ).
Agree !Buying a good domain isn't just good for your business, it's good for your customers too.
The best advice is to create well-thought-out content that you would be looking for if you were to be searching for it. People don't want to put that much effort into content creation and think there's a magic recipe for getting more traffic without having good content though. So, they'll pay hundreds to thousands and might see a bump because they're using proper markup or sectioning off content better, but that's about it.Most people think they know about SEO and digital marketing.
I go with a longer version of .COM or some alterntative .COMInterested to know what domain extensions people register if the .com they want is taken?
I have my own preferences but I'm interested to hear others thoughts.
This is the way.The best advice is to create well-thought-out content that you would be looking for if you were to be searching for it.
Yes. Good content requires a lot of time.People don't want to put that much effort into content creation and think there's a magic recipe for getting more traffic without having good content though.
I see this all the time from shill marketing companies.So, they'll pay hundreds to thousands and might see a bump because they're using proper markup or sectioning off content better, but that's about it.
Just my opinion...
Why not a shorter domain @Furquan?I go with a longer version of .COM or some alterntative .COM
Content is king, next to the .com that is. That's cause the .com can still receive type-in traffic with 0 work put into it.Yes. Good content requires a lot of time.
I own two .US domains that get great type-in traffic.Content is king, next to the .com that is. That's cause the .com can still receive type-in traffic with 0 work put into it.
