    Help me decide for a domain name for my website that is almost complete.

    It's a science news website that aggregate news from other science news website, cluster them, categorize them, determine which one is the most important - kinda Google News for Science.

    eScienceNews . com
    'science news' is a big keyword - how much good would that name do for SEO? the 'e' also sounds bad

    Zscience . com
    Z as latest I guess? most brandable, short, Zscience is very fast to type on keyboard. Does nothing for SEO.

    LatestScience . Net
    Cool name but it's a .net :( Then again, it fits as the site provide news from every other science news site, as in 'network' - only downside is that 'latest science' is not a big keyword on google

    myScienceNews . com
    This sounds worse than eScienceNews . com to me

    The site is currently hosted at latestscience . net if you want to have a look at it!

    Which one would you choose, and why?

    I'd be willing to pay a lot for a fitting name if you have a very good one.

    Thanks for the help!

    mysciencenews sounds better than e- in my opinion. It can be easily worded out in day to day talk. It also makes it clear what the website is about just by looking at the URL.

    I added a poll to the thread, so vote if you want to help me :)

    paxis: yeah eScience is hard to justify and brand (Eureka Science ?)

    dmi:I agree its the most brandable one - I just wanted to make sure as Im french speaking and while it sounds good in french, im not sure it does for english people :)

    comati: Science eNews is terrible both brand and Seo wise imho.

    bombok: I've been looking at available domain names for 1 year and those are the best I could acquire; most people who have the good domain names don't want to sell, or want to sell at insane prices.

    They are all too long for me to remember, but LatestScience.net looks promising.
