what to do when .org, .net, .com are taken

[MasterKool]

Ok i want to create a url around a keyword which im targeting, however the .org, .net, .com are taken. Also other extensions like info, us, etc are taken. Should i add a extra keyword to the end, or a symbol like www.keyword-keyword.com because no one has this domain?

Or what do you normally do in a situation like this?

If there is that much competition for the same domain name, you need to be unique and come up with another name entirely.

[river]

Think of a bunch of phrases which include your keyword and try those.

[Rapidsharer]

I usually do something like
say the keyword was Music

Id put other keywords infront or after for example
ThinkMusic
SimplyMusic
Music-x

etc

[mixke]

Add some suffix, or prefix or maybe both to your keyword and you will get the domain with your keywords. It won't harm ....

[Dreamerr]

You can also dig into the more obscure TLDs like .ws .cc and .tv
Probably better to go with a .com with a hyphen or prefix though, unless the topic actually fits .tv

[kind_of_the_cash]

Yeah there is plenty of other TLD available try to register your keywords with that way

add a word to the end of your keyword if trying to create a keyword domain. it is a better anchor, both ways work but at the end seems to do a lot better in most cases and also I do not recommend using a uncommon TLD!

[TheHappyInternetMan]

Use a TLD that is common, .com, .net, .org

Add a suffix, or add a whole word to the end, 'store', 'blog', etc.

Try to avoid hyphens whenever possible. Also I wouldn't deviate from .com, .net, or.org.

In terms of brandability and legitimacy, those are guidelines you'll want to follow.

[JoyGoRound]

I go round and round with the domain suggestion tool, then I look for INFO! :)

[hellobbs]

Try .info, it's a good options too.

[superdomena.com]

Try .info, it's a good options too.

He said info and all generic was taken too.



There's tons of short pre/su - fixes to add without hyperns.

try registering the same name in a popular ccTLD
