      It sounds like you have it all figured out then.

      • You decided you wish to acquire the ccTLD for your country

      • You decided you want to establish a unique brand name

      With those decisions in place there is not too much left. As I suggested earlier, avoid hyphens in your domain name. Ideally your domain name will be as short  and memorable as possible.

      Good luck.

        Yes, i figured it out, but at the moment i dont have peoples here for Human Resources, but i will take with a time.

        The brandname is without hyphens, and only with 6characters.

        is memorable, how you read and write some characters, can't make any misspelling etc..!

        I think is danger to take a job domain and to optimize the on-page with job keyword, backlinks with jobs, maybe is danger for a new site, for that reason, i think to increase the link metrics authority of DA and PA, with a brand-unique name, naturaly way and all links moderated, and after 2-3 months or 4, to start with link building with exactly anchor text, i hope i can avoid the spammy better than any jobs domain.

        if you have any idea, for a startup, it would be nice to hear it from you Ryan.

            I am a big fan of building a strong brand. An if you want to capitalise on a keyword loaded domain then make sure it's an exact match or as close as you can get to it for a search terms that you know carries relevant search volume. Set it up as a fish-net site which (again in your brand) captures that slice of the traffic and focus on the big picture with your main domain.

              I rule I go by, if the budget is small, then keyword domain name is a great advantage. but with a large budget the advantage of keyword domain diminishes against domain authority, link count and the like.

                      Yes! Rand reached out to me and informed me the Oracle package is:

                      • a round trip ticket to Seattle

                      • a date with one of the Seahawk Cheerleaders: http://www.seahawks.com/cheerleaders/sea-gals-roster.html

                      • the date would be dinner at the space needle: http://www.spaceneedle.com/

                      • and of course the next day tickets to the game: http://www.seahawks.com/schedule/game/2011/regular10

                      • finally, a personal guarantee my favorite television show, House, will return to it's former glory of the first few seasons

                      Ok, I have no idea about the reward. Perhaps now is a good time to mention I never received my t-shirt for 1k points? Here's hoping "something special" is not a stuffed Roger bot 🙂
