Is a 19-letter domain too long to ever become a serious website?

    I have recently registered classicalmusiclinks(.)com and already received a few pretty substantial offers for it through sedo and email. That led me to believing in its potential and now I am tempted to develop it myself. ;)
    The only thing that is stopping me ... is its length. Should I worry?

    agree, no need to worry about the length, everybody remembers it.

    just fill the 19 letters with keywords lol but it may be hard for some to remember, just make sure its good enough that people will be able to remember it later

    If your domain name is dskjahuiwehkhskdg.com (only 17 letters) people won't remember it. But yours is easy to remember.

    If you are worried, make a link that says "add to favorites", then people won't have to remember it.

    If a domain is easy to remember, but is long, it is still OK. If the domain is long, but hard to remember, then it is not OK.

    No, the lenght is not an issue. Maybe if it was a 40 letter one, then it might be getting a bit too long.

    Depends on the content of the website. Not that bad name. But shorter - better, that's for sure.

    The content will be as obvious for this name as possible: Classical Music Link Directory :)

    Longer domains do tend to be less valuable, however I think what you have here is absolutely fine :).

    When you brand it and make a logo or whenever you mention the name then make sure to highlight the keywords so people remember it easier... ClassicalMusicLinks
