I'm going to be making a domain name that takes the user directly to the Retro Game Room when they visit the url (so it'll be a domain forward). This will be convenient for many different reasons.

Which domain name should I go with? Here are some ideas
RetroGameRoom.net (RetroGameRoom.com is taken)
RetroGamesRoom.com (would probably require me to rename the Retro Game Room to Retro Games Room)
VizzedRetroGameRoom.com
retro-game-room.com
RetroOnlineGames.com

I personally would stay away from .net because .com is usually what most people go to. If RetroGameRoom.com is taken you don't want people accidently going to the .com version instead so becareful of choosing that one. Its a hard call it could do good it could be your worst enemy and give your competition the advantage so its a risk.

Here is a list of the top 5 search queries used in which people get to vizzed:

1. Vizzed Board
2. Vizzed
3. Vizzed Games
4. Vizzed.com
5. VizzedBoard

This leaves me to label it as VizzedRetroGameRoom.com. Why? Not only does it have Vizzed in the title it also have RetroGameRoom in it as well its a win win. Another good one is retro-game-room.com. If you have the money, screw it buy all of them lol.

RetroGamesRoom just sounds too funky in my opinion, I like retro game room better.

I too would stay away from the .nets, because it would be a little bit less convenient.
I like VizzedRetroGameRoom.com, but it's too long, maybe you can shorten it to VizzedRGR.com. retro-game-room.com would be good too. RetroGamesRoom.com sounds a bit cheesy.

Only problem with VizzedRGR.com is no one really knows what RGR stands for unless they come here and learn about what it means. David probably has it spelled out for the fact that they are keywords people use in search terms. I do like VizzedRGR.com however I don't think its what David is really looking for in this case. In this case its mainly for keywords specifically but if we were looking at options to make the url shorter that would be perfect

It's good to use a domain that not only explains the site's content in as few words as possible but to also have good keywords, that's what I'm aiming for here.

That is why VizzedRetroGameRoom.com is a good pick cause Vizzed itself is a really popular search term; top 5 search terms actually It's also not as generic as the rest which means there is higher probability that vizzed would show up when someone types vizzed retro game room and even retro game room.

I would agree with Jigsaw because if someone forgets some of the whole domain name, then they can search for some of it and find it (just like you said). Also, VizzedRetroGameRoom.com is pretty hard to forget regardless of length. I would also keep away from .net. It's always a mistake people make by typing in .com instead of .net or .org. everyone does it and we have to be welcoming with our domain as much as our members already are.

I say VizzedRetroGameRoom.com as well, it sounds like the best idea, has Vizzed in, and explains the RGR in a few words... definitely stay away from .net.
