Lets say I'm starting a forum about Widgets and the domain name widgetforum.com is taken and not being used, however, widgetforum.net is available. When folks want to find some place to discuss widgets they're going to do a search for "widget forum". Would I be better off picking another name like "WidgetTalk.com" or risk losing traffic because everyone assumes it's .com?
Another option I thought about is to get both and use widgetforum.net as the main address but call the site "Widget Talk" then have widgettalk.com re-direct to widgetforum.net. Or is this making things more complicated than need be? I would really rather not have to buy a domain name in the secondary market.
Thanks, Joe
