I am converting a Entertainment forum to a professional wrestling website. I have already registered 2 URL's, but am unsure which one to use. One would probably be better in search engines and one just sounds better. Your advice would be appreciated. Going from www.monksdiner.com to either www.wrestling-forums.com or www.wrestlingclique.com Thanks in advance DD
Your MonksDiner is a busy existing forum covering a number of entertainment categories. Why "convert"? You could keep the old one going & start a new wresting site using 301 redirects on the existing wrestling sub forums. I'd look for a name other than wrestling-forums as the singular and non-dashed versions already exist & could cause confusion & lost traffic.
Noted. That has been my biggest problem......people just dont seem interested in discussing anything really in the entertainment sections and I don't have the time to start a whole new forum. I have also noticed that my users seem to be really into the wrestling aspect of the forum and anyone that joins tends to have some sort of wrestling lingo in their name ie: reymysteriofan or something to that extent. Trust me, this has tormented me for months now. We tried going the entertainment avenue for 2 years now. (we even rank 3rd overall on page 1 in google for 'entertainment forums') its just not translating to sucess. I would love to hear more advice or expand on the current discussion. Thanks again DD
I see that your site is going fine. The wrestling part of the forum may be more active, but I see that the other part are active too. So why changing?
