      Hello -

      We are rebranding and our new name is fairly lengthy.  We own all main domain versions of our brand name - .com, .new and .org  - There is a very high search volume for the new brand name as it is a merger of 2 popular existing brands so want to take advantage of that and use our full name within our website domain name.

      However, since the name is a little long as mentioned - 25 characters - we also own the 3 character acronym of the new brand so we are debating on using the acronym for our new email addresses.  ie name@abc.com so it is user friendly.

      We would obviously redirect the acronym email domain to point to the longer website domain.

      Are there any negative SEO effects if we do that?  Use the longer domain for the website and shorter acronym for our email?

      Thank you

        Nope! Your email domain shouldn't have any impact on your site's SEO.

        • Hi, we are wanting to test a new version of one particular page on our website. What's the best way to run a test for a week without harming rankings. Do we use a 302 redirect or direct 100% of traffic using a tool like Optimizely?
