Setting Up A Directory: My Adventures

As much as it would be nice to have a great name like the one GG has, I wouldn't worry about the name itself as long as it's somewhat general or non-specific. (Hell, I transitioned a TGP into a general link list with the word 'wives' in the name and barely anyone submits wives sites to me.) If you must have a new movie specific name, I just checked and "this-domain-sucks-but-greenguy-from-link-o-rama-took-pornmovielinks.com" is available.

Yet again, you prove the irony behind your name dude. The reason a new domain hasn't concerned me much is because of the long haul factor. But you are right, it is going to affect me in the short term. I think google look at factors which suggest stability: length of ownership and number of years registered.

I have a couple of movie-related domains that are almost 2 years old. What do you think about these?

MovieLinkList.com

MrsMovies.com

Do you like them?

You've owned "movielinklist.com" for 2 years and you're asking my advice? I'm not very fond of mrsmovies.com, but movielinklist has a certian ring of the obvious to it. I like it.

Your site is kicking a-hole in the SERPS dude. Get used to it. I'll be asking your advice every fucking day. lol

Will move MovieLinkList.com to the head of the general list. I like it for branding. Just wish it had a keyphrase I'm gunning for.

Great Thread and Thanks Kristen for starting it and GG&J for giving it legs and wings.

I'm with UW.. I love that name mrsmovies.com but the obvious choice would be movielinklist.com.

This will be an interesting watch and perhaps one of our many hubs will finally hatch to a LL. *ducking from tart*

Another vote for MovieLinkList.com!

Good to have you here, docholly
