Domain Name and SEO

**Neutral Singh** · 03-09-2007, 06:48 AM

I am having two domain names to play with.

1. sikhbusiness.net

2. sikhbusinessworld.com

First one seems better but with no .com

Second one is a bit longish but with .com. I am undecided on which domain name to stick with...

Brandon, what do you think about it from SEO point of view.

Thanks

what is sikh ? Would be my first questionm other then that, I would use the .net

I was going to ask the same thing. I would like to know what
sikh is first and then I will give you my answer. I like the .com one, but I don't know what the sikh is.

gosh, you ever Google around folks

here is the wikipedia definition

The SGPC defines a Sikh as a person who believes in:

* One God
* Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh
* The Guru Granth Sahib
* The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus
* Living an honest life, abolishing oppression, and treating good people with respect.

Such a person is defined as a Sikh as long as said person does not owe allegiance to any other religion. A small minority of fringe Sikh sects that do not subscribe to the SGPC's Rehat Maryada may have differing definitions of a Sikh. However, generally speaking, these prerequisites hold.

No, not all the time.

Now I am even more confused on why it would be business topic?

Ok let me update your "general knowledge"

Sikhism is the fifth largest religion (25 million worldwide) in the world. A community member of adherent of sikhism is called a "sikh". With more than 1 million in the U.S. and Canada alone and spread in over 100 countries all over the globe doing different things and so the potential is tremendous. I plan to open a website of sikh entrepreneurs serving global business community. I hope now you get the idea.

Now, can i be guided with SEO point of view.

Thanks.

Personally I believe shorter is better for SEO and I definitely think that sihkbusiness.net will stick in someones mind better than sihkbusinessworld.com.

from what I've read here, I would buy
SIKH-GURUS.COM
or
SIKHGURUS.NET

this is what I used to come to this.

Keyword Selector Tool
enter "sikh"

you see sikh gurus gets about 350 searched a day
