    Hi,
    I am all set to open a site. I am ready with contents, host etc. But the thing is that I am not being able to finalize a domain. I want to get creative this time, but not getting any name that will be catchy.

    My site is based on picture comments. Picture comments are like glitters that we use to scrap our friends. Ex:
    [​IMG]

    Few popular sites in this niche are having domains like :
    Friends18 .com
    ImpImages.com
    OrkutNow.com
    OrkutUncle.com
    etc

    So, i want a catchy name, not much long, max 6-10 characters. Be creative plz....

    And also, I am planning to start this site quickly. So, suggest the names asap.

    I will mention your name on the footer area of my site, if i use your suggested name

    Thanks

    Have you invited name for your web site? I think that you can use that for your domain name as well

    Don't be so demanding in your requests for others time and assistance, otherwise you will get absolutely nowhere here on this forum.

    You do not demand that others give you suggestions, you ask them for their assistance with a modicum of politeness and respect.

    You are expecting this to be done for you free without charge, so writing with a communicative standard, which encourages others would definitely be the way to go.

    Maybe if you were to offer others a good incentive to give you a hand, i.e. money or cash, you may find that you get more positive responses and more individuals, prepared to help you out in the future.

    Asking for a brand name is your first mistake. You'll be making your SEO much more difficult, time consuming and expensive in the long run. Nor will you ever achieve a particularly high ranking in the rankings with a domain with numbers in it for example.

    Get yourself a keyword domain instead.

    There is no reason at all, why you cannot do this for yourself, it will just take about 30 minutes of your time.

    Go to Google and type in: "Google Keyword Tool" and click on the top result.

    Type in your keyword. Fill in the captcha code and hit Search.

    Scroll down to the second bunch of results.

    Choose 2-3 word keywords. You'll want something with over 500 searches per month for the keyword/s chosen. Next go to Google.com and type in there what ever the keyword is inbetween "this space" - the inverted commas. Look at the results and make sure that the number of results for your long tailed keyword is less than 200,000 results. This is the number of competing websites vying for that particular keyword string.

    Now go to a domain registrar, for example, Dynadot.com and use the bulk search or the bulk search at Moniker.com and put in there the keyword string that yields the best results as given in the above instructions.

    When you get one that fits the criteria, and it is available, register it. Stick to the .com or if you must, the .net if the .com is not available.

    Voila, you have your domain name.

    If you cannot be bothered to do this for yourself, why should anyone else be bothered to help you out?

    Oh well, he'll learn.
