This is quite true. Content is always king. Even I personally am able to memorize some difficult to remember URLs just because the site’s content keeps drawing me back. But when getting it off the ground, a domain without hyphens is definitely going to be easier to take off.

I love the idea of branding yourself and using your full name as your domain name. However it is likely that building your personal brand will take longer, it can cover a wider variety of topics, and isn’t limited to the topics covered by niche websites that often have keyword rich domains.

Buying .net and .org too early might hurt you if you haven’t reach a stage where you can sustain the fee of your hosting. But it’s important to get them if your blog starts getting famous.

Personally I don’t mind a domain that has one hyphen in it. Really, how many people are you expecting to type in your domain name? A site has to be exceptionally good for people to want to do that. I prefer basing domain choice on getting that first time visitor. If they want to come back, they can bookmark the site.

Choosing the right domain name is very important, it sticks with you for the remainder of your site unless you redirect to a new domain. Having a good domain name is good also but then there is the question if you are going for keywords in the domain or for branding.

Yea, I’ve heard that it goes .com, .net, .org, then add hyphens. But if you have to add hyphens sometimes it’s better just to find an unused .com.

The biggest tip I can give is to stay away from domain names with hyphens in them. Think of it this way… when you tell someone in person what your website is, it is very confusing to tell people and have them understand what you mean by the hyphen in the middle of the domain name. In the long run it will really hurt you if you do that.
