2 Sub-niches combining for new Domain?

[affiliaterookie2009]

Hi everyone,

I have come up with my first 2 sub-niche's domain names. Of course I'm gonna focus on one first sub-niche, but I picked the domain for the other ahead of time for the long term. I know I also have to choose a company name for the one I'm focusing on now. Then I'll have to come up with a company name for the 2nd later on. I'm thinking about business cards etc. I have also heard it's a smart idea to have the company and website domain name the same.

The 2 sub-niches are both a part of the same Main niche so I know later down the line I will need a Main niche company name to combine the two.

Can anyone tell me how that works? How do I go about that?

You asked about this in another thread and I recommended that since the 2 niches are tightly related and part of a main niche - do not split up your efforts into 2 sites.

If your main niche was fishing and your 2 sub niches were trout fishing and bass fishing one strategy would be to get a domain like bestfishingtips.com. One section of site would be about trout fishing and focused on trout fishing key phrases and the other would be about bass fishing.

But then all your efforts are focused on driving traffic to and building up one site instead of having all your efforts divided.

Combining domain keywords/sub-niches

This is true, It will just be more difficult to compete though with the two together. I was thinking it's easier to master each one and get high PR for them both. The domain names combining both are highly competitive right

So what I will mainly rely on is the keyword content for PR if I combine the two? and of course article submission, forums, comments, etc.?

I can see your point. But even your sub niches are highly competitive. Not sure which is best in the long run just playing devils advocate.

One or both won't have an affect on PR and keyword content does not have an effect on PR. The main thing that affects PR is inbound links which are easier to get when you can focus all your efforts on one site. But then again PR isn't that important.

Gotcha, time for me to get to it! Thanks

Just occurred to me maybe you were talking about ranking not PR??? Ranking high is important.

PR/Ranking?

Oh, yeah probably, I get the two mixed up, but I can rank high with my placement of long-tail keywords in the content right? without depending on the domain so much?. Like the brandable names. I'm already gonna go with the "combined sub-niche" domain names though instead of searching forever. I will just have to work a little harder right? I can see how I will benefit in the long run.
