Is it OK to choose a Domain Name with Brand-name followed by keyword? Part 2

[PaulineRose]

Last month I have posted a question about choosing the right domain name for a website which is currently popular in india, which also needs to be popular in USA.

Here's the link to that question (http://moz.com/community/q/is-it-ok-to-choose-a-domain-name-with-brand-name-followed-by-keyword)

As you can see the question got 3 helpful responses from experts. But if you scroll down and see.. there is a 4th response which I myself posted throwing some extra doubts, (This was left unanswered.) Could someone please check that thread and clarify my doubt ( the 4 response)

For reference, here is the question:

Thank you for helping me in this. I now have the clarity in making the right recommendation to my client.  However we are now left with 2 options:

• Create unique design/Content for the new **brandnamebianalytics.com **and work on optimization from scratch.
• Redirect **brandnamebianalytics.com to brandname.co.in or vice versa. **The reason we've considered this option is because brandname.co.in is rich in content and drawing around 3000 visitors traffic per month and we cannot afford to lose the reputation the (co.in) site has earned till date.

I appreciate the time you've taken in replying to my query and I look forward to your thoughts/recommendations in the above mentioned issue.

Redirecting to .co.in will keep the domain focused to the Indian market, and if I read right, you want to focus on the US market as well. So I'd recommend designing and developing new content for brandnamebianalytics.com and optimize from scratch.

Hope that helps!
