Help me decide between two domains...

[baldidiot]

I have two domains that I can't decide between and was hoping I could get some third party perspective as to which to use.

This is for a small site that's going to be a guide to casinos in london. I have casinosinlondon.org.uk and londoncasinos.org.uk - both have similar EM results:

londoncasinos.org.uk 720 EM
casinosinlondon.org.uk 880 EM

Thoughts? Which do you prefer - I keep oscillating between the two...

Londoncasinos.org.uk has a better ring to it.

[JackpotParty_Roxy]

Agreed - londoncasinos.org.uk ftw!

[baldidiot]

Ok cool, thanks

londoncasinos.org.uk has a better ring to it !

so I guess it unamimious

[Doolally]

If you want any more convincing, I'd go for LondonCasinos too!

But if I was searching.....

I would search for casinos in london.

But as a webmaster I would search for london casinos.

use a redirect with the one you not use

[thebookiesoffers]

london casinos, that's what i'd search as well

[universal4]

I think non webmasters are more prone to search natural language questions... but london casinos is also a good fit.

If it is econimically feasable I would also say taking them both and redirecting one of them would be preferred...tough call really...

In an attempt to not derail this thread, I started a discussion in the seo thread about searching since this thread inspired the line of thought.

I would go for the first one because :
- a) It's catchier to say and use in marketing .. to my ears anyway.
- b) It has London first and that geographic location is the key part of your site.

I would expect londoncasinos.org.uk to probably serve up better in local searches.

Damn good point....

I am curious to know which one you picked. I hope you chose ‘casinosinlondon.org.uk’, if I was searching I would search under ‘casinos in London’

I wish you all the best!

I went with LondonCasinos.org.uk.

do you mind me asking how you plan to make money from it? click ads?

[baldidiot]

It's more of an experiment than anything else, I want to see how well CPC advertising works (ok, I want to know the CPC value, lol) now that you can opt into receiving gambling ads on the adsense network (I checked first and the sites topic was given the ok by google, just in case anyone is interested).

I also want to see how easily a site like this can attract natural links once you remove the affiliate aspect of it.

Plus there are a few other things I want to play around with...

(I come from a science background so I'm all about the experiments )
