Survey: "Town Directory" Name....

Best of Roseburg. Best of anything attracts more attention than a town name.

Sandi Bowman

Hi Don,

LindaC here.

I agree with Sandi. Best of Roseburg

My Best 2 U,

LindaC

I agree w/ Sandi.

It also avoids the 's' problem -- as in KansasBest. Which would 'sound' awkward when spoken aloud (Kansas-es Best").

The other way has its problems too.

You'll have to also register BestIn[town] BestOf[town] THEbestin[town], and THEbestof[town] -- just to be sure to block off any potential competitors injecting confusion in the marketplace!

-- TW

Neither.

Those domain names are too generic and do not give me the consumer any idea that businesses or their listings are tied to those names. If I'm a consumer looking to buy I would want a resource, where it's name alone, let's me know immediately I'm looking in the right direction.

Thanks for responding.

I should have explained further that I'm going to list one biz in each Category of the Directory and I'd like to use Domains like; RoseburgsBestDentist, RoseburgsBestRoofer, RoseburgsBestPlumber....etc

If I went the other way; BestDentistOfRoseburg, (doesn't sound right) ....should be "BestDentistINRoseburg, BestRooferINRoseburg, BestPlumberINRoseburg...and I'd have to name the Directory, "BestINRoseburg"

So....using "RoseburgsBest___" is only 3 words whereas, "Best_____INRoseburg" is 4.

Now...what do you think?

Which way do you think I should go?

Thanks,
Don Alm

Since you want to go with the theme of "RoseburgsBest___" and you want to keep it to 3 words, then your directory should be "RoseburgsBestBusinesses.com"

That way you have the theme, "RoseburgsBest___", running through your whole project. If I go to "RoseburgsBestBusinesses.com" and search through your directory then I will see:

RoseburgsBestAccountants.com
RoseburgsBestAntiques.com
RoseburgsBestAttorneys.com
RoseburgsBestMechanics.com
RoseburgsBestDentists.com
RoseburgsBestLandscapers.com
RoseburgsBestExterminators.com

and so on.

Please note that to stay with your 3 word domain format some titles will need to be changed. For example: Instead of "RoseburgsBestAutoRepair.com, you would use RoseburgsBestMechanics.com.
