Ok, I figured since I already had the domain name and everything set, I am not too concerned about anyone stealing the idea, plus its not SEO based so not like many people here are probably interested anyways. So I want to do a blog that is focused primarily on Music and Photography, but also adding other general stuff too. So its not a one niche blog, therefor direct keywords wont work in the domain/blog title. Anyways, my domain is www. MourningSky .com It is also the name of one of my bands, so thats why I am wanting to use this domain instead of something else. If my band does happen to get bigger, I can move the blog to a new name and have the domain solely for the music side, but at this point it is just parked because the band is just me (for this project, im hiring live musicians, not a shared collaboration, since I want it exactly the way I want it, nothing else) Anyways, So the name fits into photography too quite well IMO, along with being my band name, so I figured I can do a blog with all this and it should work decently. The domain is not the easiest to say thru word of mouth, since it uses an alternate spelling of a word, but it is clever and people may remember it because of that. Broken into two words, I can get some random keywords from that. This is my first attempt into the adsense/etc world, so if it does substancially well, I may just export it to another domain and act as solely a blog, sure I might lose traffic but I would be ok with it, because I know it can work. I also have my name as a domain, www.NickDaniel.com which right now is acting as my personal music site (not completed) but I was thinking of doing the blog there, although I think it is more attractive to random people to goto a site that has a non-direct name rather than a persons name, so I will focus that site as my personal music/freelancing business. I dont really want to buy another domain, mainly for the fact I cant think of another domain name that would work in this situation.. and I already have these two so I mise well put them to use. Any opinions?
Interesting idea. A blog mixing music and photography sounds really great. I don't really like the idea of planning to switch the site to a different domain. Seeing that you may already have to buy another domain name later down the line to facilitate the switch I'm thinking it might be a good idea to buy the domain now. Just my two cents though.
Unfortuntely when you are a professional musician and you get to a point where it is almost impossible to find serious musicians with the top-notch talent to perform fusion/jazz improvising, you need to start paying people =[ Its just how it goes, and my other bands that wont be paid or are collaborated projects will probably not last long, hardly none of them do. Anyways, I might look for a new domain name, but its just so hard finding another one that would work in this situation. I actually had one really good one that would work that I am considering for a band name also, but its .com is taken =[ (the .net is available though.. but I dunno if I like it enough to use as a .net)
