URL Help needed

I have several and so many people have different ideas I don't know which is the best way to go.

For some reason people can't pronounce or spell my last name correctly so I didn't use it- just my first name. I don't know what is really "best", but I would probably use the bigbrisellshomes.

Personally I wouldn't include my name at all. Here are some great posts for you to check out:

My suggestions woudl be to include keywords in your domain such as 'real estate' 'homes' and/or the city/neighborhood you are marketing your site to. 

So, that being said, I don't like either of your choices. Here is a good site for you to look up domains at.

Brian, come up with something that people can easily remember. That would be best.

 I suggest one website with several domain names that point to it. there is nothing wrong with briansolinsky.com, but who cares who you are, I want to find a home in Puyallup (where ever that is). .  Consider the following:

findpuyalluphomes.com

puyallupre.com

sellpuyallup.com

puyalluprealestate.info

locatepuyalluphomes.com

I did a whois search on all of these and they are all available.

I wouldn't go with the .info domain I would stick with .com's

Here are some other suggestions

FindPuyallupRealEstate.com

PuyallupRealEstateHome(s).com

PuyallupHomeBuyers.com 

 

All a little longer, but keyword rich which is great for the search engines.

I would always use .com

I used my name for a few years before all the SEO education. Took me forever to choose a name and I am thinking of changing. With a city spelling like Puyallup - that is tough too! So many people don't know how to spell that. I lived in Puyallup as a child -went to Ezra Meeker :)

PuyallupRealEstateNews.com - just a thought.

Jo brings up a very good point. Puyallup is a very hard word to spell.

I really like PuyallupRealEstateNews.com, especially if you are going to use a blog.

Your name alone is not the way to go, and you should include your area some way in the name so people searching for properties in your area will reach your site.  We use 8 domains that point to a primary domain, with our area included in all of the names.  All are .com domain names, and are very inexpensive.  It has worked very well for us.  Our domain names use "home" or "homes" and "land" with our area in some form.  The site title and keywords in the description are both very important to search engine rankings.  Great responses here with good advice!

I agree that the .com is preferred, because its well...preferred. but I do think as supplemental domains a .info or .biz might work.  I live in Cape Coral Fl  and have toyed with the idea of a .cc  just for fun
