new blog - new domain

    I'm thinking about creating a new personal blog, and I'm thinking about using my name as the domain. I'll use the blog to brand myself. The problem is that I have a fairly long name, my name is Jens-Petter Berget

    What I've been thinking about for a domain is:

    jenspetterberget.com

    Is this too long, or doesn't it matter? Or should I use jpberget.com or something else?

    Thanks.

    That's a good idea. If you have a doctorate or is a doctor by profession, might as well put the title in front.

    I suggest you not to use your name as your blog name, Instead try to use the blog name on the topic and keywords you are planning to write about, It is best for your seo and also you can write on the topic and can get ranked soon on major search engines like google yahoo etc. This is the best seo tip for you, I use my company name siaargroup for my blog and laking behind on seo but it is working fine, I used siaargroup dot blogspot dot com, if i would have named it as computer hardware dot blogspot dot com or some thing like this i would get more pr. but it is working fine.
