I'm in this pickle, I have 2 domain names that I like. One of them is 6 letters long and goes well with what I'm going to do, but it doesn't have flair. The other is 13 letters long which consists of 2 words, and it's a bit more of an attention getter as well as better branding qualities. The shorter could be branded too.. but it's just a bit more difficult imo.
What would you do?

What are they?
I think I would probably go with the one with "Flair." Chances are it will be easier to remember than some generic URL.Your friendly neighbourhood IDX Coordinator,

It's actually an interesting topic & I was going to respond until I read through his post. Just looked spammy to me.

it matters in SEO if your domain is long or short because it is easily be recalled if you got a short or precise domain name
