SSWT Internet Marketing Forum

Hi there,

I have a question for some of the experts here (or anyone who has an opinion really). Let's say you want to make a website about baking, should you choose a catchy name like "bakemaster.com" or a name that is descriptive of what you are doing like "howtobakecakeseasily.com" ?

One is short and easy to remember, the other may give a better search ranking. Also, if you find a good name but it isn't a .com should you go for that or keep looking for names until you find a good .com

Thanks in advance for your help.

Catchy names are great for branding, and keyword names are great for SEO. They arent necessary for good rankings, they just make them easier. For more on that, see this post at my blog:

I would definitely go with the .com version of your domain name, and even suggest buying up the .net, .info etc as well. But at the very least, get and use a .com
