I'm starting a gaming site, and I'm wondering what would work better. I know the name of the site I'm going to buy, but I dunno if i should suffix it with "gaming" or just have the name...? So it'd be <whatever>.com or <whatever>gaming.com which is a better idea in sites...? suffixing it with what type of site it is? or not?
Having the word "gaming" in it will help people recognise that it's a gaming site, but in the end of the day, depends on how well you brand the site. Eg. Google.com branded themselves very well, they don't have their name as GoogleSearchEngine.com
Quite true. I ended up purchasing it without GAMING at the end. I had asked around elsewhere too, people seemed to agree with you htmlindex.
yeah I have one but my son running the site. I have gaming in domain name as well. it works good that way.
htmlindex raises a good point here, as your domain name grows in popularity it becomes pointless to attach its generic term to it.
Pogogaming.com Googlesearchengine Ebayonlineauctions.com Stick to branding your name as the top sites do- (Pogo.com)
Well I've already purchased the domain. I thought it'd be a bit too long if i had hydratekgaming.. and it's easier on the person typing it in to just type hydratek.net
