    Hello DP,

    I am setting up another Medical Marijuana Site. This one will be a classifieds site for Medical Marijuana,Supplies,Accessories and whatever else. I have 2 Domains laying around and i want to know what everyone thinks would be the better pick for this classifieds site.

    The first domain is BUYMARIJANA dot COM which is a miss spelling of Marijuana

    The Second one is MARIJUANABROKER dot ORG

    If you read this please give me some feedback. I would like pros and cons to both domains.

    Mispelling domain name is a bad idea.

    Go for second one...Miss spelling is not good as per seo guidelines. or search more related domain. Take the help of adwords to search gud volume of keywords and try to make the domain of maximum searches...it will definitely help you. and if you have finalize your domain from the two then i suggest to go ahead with marijuanabroker.org

    First one I would say is a definite no. You will confuse users and most probably have a hard time building up a brand.

    The second I would say neither, unless you want to give the impression that you are actually involved in transactions as a broker.

    Get rid of both and try something new.

    I'd go for the second one but I'd look really carefully at the site that has the .com (if there is one) and make sure it won't be too similar - you don't want to be accused of trying to steal their business.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. The Second one will prob work for now.

    @ sarahk Thanks for that thought didnt even look at what the .com or .net was doing. Thankfully nothing.

    @giorgioarmani, hopefully with a direct name like marijuanabroker it will draw some traffic in on name alone. However you make a good point with the name. Hopefully the traffic from the name out weighs the negative the name will bring.

    Completely agree. A misspelled domain is good for some additional traffic but I would never use it for a main site. Definitely go with the second choice.

    I would recommend neither and instead come up with a cool weed-related brand name that is available in .com (not so difficult, I think you have looked at keywords too much rather than brand). Something that is memorable, easy to say and but also unique. Although, for a major drug dealer Marijuana Broker would be a good name, but you need something that explains more what you are about (the medical side, not brokering drug deals).

    I agree with the above posters, don't waste your time, energy or capital on a misspelled domain name. Problem is with the acceptance of medical marijuana and legalization in some states most marijuana domain names are already regged. I suggest searching for something short, unique and catchy. Good luck
