    I'm new to this so I was basically gonna start a review site as a hobby. Haven't really picked a specific niche due to the fact that this will be my first major go towards creating a very decent site/blog. I was thinking of using wordpress and running my blog and writing reviews on products, programs, and other stuff I have tried and try more stuff accordingly to write reviews about. My domain has several keywords in it. Was wondering if anyones got suggestions on there own domain name ideas with the following information. Thanks to all that help.

    So,what is your domain name?Post it here so that i can give you idea what to do with it.
    And you cannot use WP if you want,there is a lot of script you can based on,for example,cms/jomlaa.
    If you plan to do review kind of site,then you better use review script such as reviewsscript.com

    My idea was riddlersreviewblog.com. Simple and straight to the point. I was gonna use a blog so I could post my reviews as a blog post but I am open to suggestions that might improve on what I was thinking of doing. Riddler is just a nick name I use so thats self explanatory. Without using a blog I would have to change domain name also but either way I am open to suggestions :)

    Maybe use riddlersblog if available. Easier to remember and opens you to other uses besides reviews.

    I think you should focus on having a short unqiue domain name, take a large review site such as cnet, very short and an easy to remember domain name. Secondly a wordpress blog is perfect for this idea, you can also have the 5star rating widget under each post so users can review the product as well!

    Thanks. Was planning on using the site for reviews and news post and other information so that actually makes sense to me since it won't be solely reviews



    The 5star rating widget was definately a good idea didn't think of that. Thanks for the suggestions



    Anymore are welcome

    The major issue in not choosing a specific niche is that you will find yourself having issues with ranking high in search engines, as you will have very scattered keywords.

    Yeah but I was gonna mainly review all sorts of products and software that I've used and such plus use it as a site I post interesting articles and such on. Plus its gonna be my first site mainly a hobby site so I guess ranking super high won't be my main concern right now.
