Ok guys & gals,
Im stuck deciding which keyword-based domain to get. It comes down to the age old question "Do you want a small piece of a bigger pie, or a bigger piece of a smaller pie" ...
1) with 74k monthly searches and only 14.5k competition/matches
OR
2) with 18k monthly searches and only 2k competition/matches
Domain 1 has more of what I would consider "authority sites" or longer established sites to compete with, which have "proper" backlinks. While Domain 2 looks like there are a few IM'ers (if not Blackhatters) I would need to compete against (so backlinking from blogs, forums/xrumer, etc) and doing exactly what I was planning to do with the site.
The nature of what I am doing means I have to pick one or the other and I cant do both.
What are your thoughts/suggestions?
