    starting a music blog

    gonna be aimed at a younger audience and maybe urban audience

    domain and branding MIGHT be coolmofo

    most people, and the urban dictionary, define cool mofo as a cool mutha fu(#a

    My question to yall is: Do you think this domain name and branding may offend or turn away potential traffic to my blog?

    I think it depends if your target audience is into that kind of language. It can work but you'd have to be targeting people who are ok with that kind of talk.

    For younger and urban audience it sounds ok I guess. Kids that are into slang will probably remember it very easily which is something that you are aiming for after all. Of course you cannot count on all your visitors being so open-minded so you have to be prepared that this risk will certainly cost a certain portion of your audience. If that is a loss you are prepared to take I don't see anything wrong with it. ;)

    I wouldn't sweat it, so long as your site is actually going to be hip and cool. Would be a total fail if the site was boring.

    yes i think the genres of music are aimed towards a group who are used to this slang.

    I would prefer not to have any loss due to my branding.

    haha. you are quite right! better live up to the name.

    In doing further research I found there is a heavily advertised porn brand "Mofos"
    would really hate for someone searching my brand to end up anywhere near this type of material.

    unless I can come up with a new brand and domain to match in the near future I think I will go ahead and start promoting and building my blog under the coolmofo title and domain.

    thank you for input and am interested in others opinions as well.
