Rename Hawg Zone?

[speed]

In order to increase our ranking in Google searches for the term "Harley Forums" I am thinking about changing the domain name for this site from HawgZone.com to one of the following. Please for vote for your choice.

Thanks.

Gotta keep HawgZone in it, thus my vote

Just Curious,

If the other domains that you have purchased link back to hawgzone aren't you already getting the bump if people search for harley or forums?

Of course, I guess you wouldn't have to keep paying for the other domains if you change the name.

Never mind.

That's a good question ez. The other domain names point at Hawg Zone, but they aren't a mirror. In order for them to drive traffic they would have to have content tied to their domain name. Follow?

If you punch in hawgzone.com into your address bar it brings you here and the address bar continues to read hawgzone.com. However, if you enter harleyforumsusa.com into the address bar as soon as it brings up the content here the address changes to hawgzone.com.

Search engines hugely frown upon mirroring sites, so if we configured the extra domains to stay in your address bar when you got here Google would most likely delist the site.

Cheers,

Just to throw a wrinkle into the equation I bought two more domains today:

HARLEYFORUMSWORLDWIDE.COM
HARLEYFORUMSNORTHAMERICA.COM

I am going to close this thread and put up a new sticky poll with them included.

Cheers,
