Question on Naming my Site.

    Hey guys, here I am once again.

    I am planning to make my 2nd website which is a fantasy, romance, fantasy/romance fan fictions (likes of Final Fantasy, Harry Potter, LOTR, Suikoden and so on)

    I am thinking about names like:
    1. Fiction Dreamers
    2. Fantastic Dreamers
    3. Beyond Imagination
    4. The Fictioners

    #1 and 4 shows that it's about fiction which means people will be able to know what it's about just by reading the site name. while #2 and 3 are a little vague. but I asked a few people and most of them like #2 and 3.

    so my question is.
    should I stick with either 1 and 4 since people will be more likely to search "Fiction" and find the site OR should I stick with 2 and 3 but have meta-tag say "fantasy, romance fictions"?

    or put it in another way, is it very important to have the main theme of the website to be in the name of the website?

    thanks you.

    I think beyond imagination sounds good, and people would be able to distinguish the type of site you have.

    What about incorporating both into one? Something like FantasyFiction? Anyway, I like 1 and 4 better.

    As for whether the main theme of the website should be in the domain name...yes, I think it should. I had a very successful forum about online games, but in the domain name there was the word "desire" and therefore a lot of useless ads about "desires" showed up.

    yup, i more prefer with "FantasyFiction" i think its sound nice in my ear. but ofcourse, the more short the domain, the better it is.

    great. I'll keep it short and have the name show the theme of the site.

    another question.
    if I have 2 words for example Fantasy Fictions.
    should I put fantasyfictions.com OR fantasy_fictions.com?

    does it matter when searching?

    thanks.

    I like the concept behind #4, but it doesn't really... roll off the tongue.

    I'm not sure you can have an underscore in a domain name, but hyphens are ok. I generally prefer the the words together over a hyphenated domain name.

    Since this post is about Adsense generally, I assume you want to monitise your site.

    Starting with the keyword of "dream" is important.
