    Suggestion on either of these guitar forum domain names

    Hey Folks,

    I'm currently in the middle of setting up an acoustic guitar forum (a passion of mine) and am stuck on which domain name I should use.

    It's a toss-up between either acguitarforum.com or acousticguitarchat.com

    My aim is to get top of google for the term "acoustic guitar forum".

    I feel the pros and cons of each domain are as follow:

    acguitarforum.com

    Pros:
    1: Easier to type than the later.
    2: Contains keyword "guitar forum" (but not "acoustic", which is a competitive keyword.)

    Cons:
    1: People might not know ac = acoustic.
    2: When returning, people might get confused with acousticguitarforum.com (another popular forum)

    acousticguitarchat.com

    Pros:
    1: Very descriptive
    2: Contains keyword "acoustic guitar" (but not the keyword "forum" which is a term i'm aiming for.)

    Cons:
    1: Longer to type
    2: Doesn't contain keyword "forum" which is something i'm aiming for.


    With the above in mind, i'm wondering whether it would be better for me to lose out on domain keyword advantage of "acoustic" or "forum" in my domain name.

    I would love to hear your opinions, especially from any guitarists out there.

    acoustic is HIGHLY mis-spelled word. Natural type-ins with the full word in it might be tricky. I play as well and i always spell it wrong too. I would use the first version, acguitarforum.com, and then fous on on-page content dealing with acoustic keyword.

    Aye, that's very true Brian. What if I were to buy the mis-spelling versions of the acousticguitarchat.comdomain?
