    Hey, i was hoping to get some advice on .info domains.
    Please note: the domain below are just examples...

    i have been running a forum for 2 years with a domain eg: britney-spears-forums.com
    i want to shorten the domain to britney-spears.com or britneyspears.com...but
    those domains are taken, the .com, .net and .org are all taken.

    would it be a bad idea to go out and buy the britneyspears.info domain for my forum?
    or should i just make up a new domain eg: britneyspearsonline.com and stay with .com or .net?

    thanks guys.

    IMO stick with the .com or .net. I personally don't have any .info, for some reason they look/sound spamy + SEO wise I never saw .info rank better than a .com or a .net.

    My guess will be to include the full name as there's million Britneys out there. You want to narrow it down so your audience find your website easier, i'm sure most of the people looking for britney forum will search for "britney spears forum" :)

    like i said, put her full name in the domain you guys think its better for SEO?
    or a very short domain with just the first name again eg: britneyforums.com?

    would you think the best domain in this case could be "britney middle name spears"??? eg: BritneyjeanSpears.com??? having full name should be best for seo? because its available as full name.
    thx

    remember the domain is just an example, its not the celeb domain im going to buy, its another celeb.

    BritneyjeanSpears.com is just as good as BritneySpears.com, well not as good, but if all is taken go for BritneyjeanSpears.com using her middle name???

    i noticed people type in celebs short and full name into google. go for the full name?

    edit: damn the .com is taken....would BritneyjSpears.com do the trick????
    thanks.
