It's interesting to know that there are no consistent trends with regards to the length of amount of words in your domain name, and it's success. I guess that, if people want to get somewhere, they don't mind typing for an extra few seconds! This blog's a great read - will be subscribing!

You could probably use a different TLD or even a subdomain if you were creative with it (such as appulo.us), but it would probably be a good idea to get a .com once your growth has increased. Remember when delicious.com was del.icio.us? My domain name is long (everythingishistory), but I often abbreviate it to EiH, which I’ve found has made it more memorable.

I do not think Flickr is a good domain, but it is so powerful that you want to remember it. Yes, the .com domain should be the most popular, and the most important is the content of the website.

I started a new blog last month with a 2 word domain name after I had done some keyword research. As a result, my analytics report that I am receiving 88% organic traffic from Google, (which is also my largest referrer of traffic). I believe if you keep it simple stupid, you will usually fare a lot better. Shorter is better. I started a new blog last month with a 2 word domain name after I had done some keyword research.
