.land extension or .com extension? Please help!

[Catinas97]

hi, its me again.

I bought 2 domains for my new site I want to build. My keyword is: "BabyHazelGames"

babyhazelgames.land ( for me it sounded like "the land of baby hazel" etc )

PlayHazel.com             ( short .com domain, still says what the sites about )

If u check first page for this keyword u see most of the sites are EMD-s or filler partial EMD ( on .com-s)Someone told me to buy a EMD since I fight with EMD-s on first page, and its the only way I have a chance!

I bought The games license, theme license and all of these. That was alot of money, and I dont want to put all my money and work on the wrong domain name.

Please help me decide between these 2; Thanks!

Hi again

PlayHazel.com get's my vote.  It's very brandable, the word 'Play' is already very related to games, it's easy to remember, and it's a .com.

I can't think of a single good thing to say about babyhazelgames.land not to be overly blunt, but that just sounds terrible!

Good luck in whatever you choose

By the way, most companies will change your license for you... especially if you bought it in the last 30 days.... send them an email and ask

congrats on your .com i wouldnt bother with the .land for now. Anyway let me explain why..

1st of all most people would use .com if they are not familiar with your website and not everyone as of today is familiar with .land TLD. So if i was one of your friend or have heard your site the very first thing i would do if i dont remember your domain is use .com as TLD, yep...

2nd is that i dont think you will be aiming for "the land of baby hazel" as your keyword and if you will i dont think .land would be of any help.

3rd just think of those 2 reasons above, lol but anyway i wanna hear from the PRO's for more elaborate explanation and their own point of view.

I personally favor the .com, as it's shorter and makes more sense, and more people are aware of .com domains.

The next thing I would focus on is why should people come to your site as opposed to the dozens of others out there on the web already that offer baby hazel games. What do you offer that they don't have? Think about about your unique selling proposition as you put together your site.

Use the .com. People know what it is, and once you have a solid strategy in place, it will do better.

When you try and complicate things for the end user, it just goes downhill. One thing that was always preached to me by my mentors: Optimize and build around the lowest common denominator, without insulting your intelligent users. .land will confuse both.
