Setting Up A Directory: My Adventures

Useless · 2006-04-06, 07:33 AM

I'd suggest using an old domain that doesn't have anything special on the root. It doesn't matter if you have galleries or sites or wild chimpanzees roaming its subdirectories. In fact, it's a good thing if it already has some pages listed in the SEs. In my experience, and from what I heard around here, a new domain will hold you back in the SEs. So, go old.

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.

".... it's a good thing if it already has some pages listed in the SEs."

WTF ?????????????

I thought it was "Useless Warrior", not "Clueless Warrior".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is sound advice from UW, dude. Consider yourself corrected.

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.

Another vote for MovieLinkList.com!

Good to have you here, docholly
