Domain name - branding and google

[duchuy2103]

Hi...



It's my first massage on board- hello everyone...!



I am having hard time choosing a right domainname in a very competitive business in google and I thought it might be nice to hear few opinions about it.



I am building a website for renting paris apartments and currently, I am using rent-paris-apartments.com . I am not sure about this one because I dont know if it's easy to remember and if it will be easy to get inside the search engine...



Any suggestions about other domain names ( have to be easy to remember contain one or more keywords for earch engine)



Thanks for any help....

Welcome cdx,



I like your domain name as is and wouldn't worry so much just yet.



You have to get them to your site for them to remember being there so keep trying to climb the serps.



Branding is very important - but maybe you should offer a freebie or something to get them to hand over their contact details (email), then you can remember them.



A freebie might be going in the draw to win tickets to something in paris...? Your budget (/ income from the site) would then determine how often it was drawn...?

if you're relying on mostly search engine traffic and not returning visitors, there's absolutely nothing wrong with going with a non-.com domain



and again, if SE traffic is going to be more important than returning visitors, I'd go with dashes seperating your keywords
