looking for opinions about a website name

[Eric J in MN]

I am one of the developers of a website tentatively called MoveLeft.com.

What is your opinion of that name for a website?

1. Sounds to much like MoveOn.org

But what do I know? My site is named "brainshrub"... does that sound even remotely liberal to you?

(For the record: My internet-handle was Brainshrub long before W ran for president.)

Good luck with your site!

Let me know when you are up and we'll swap links.

2. Names don't really matter

Marketing is the key. Okay it's branding. Anyone can put up a site. It's whether you get eyeballs that matter. And in the end, you can have a great name, but if you don't know what a robots.txt file is. and the google bots are not sniffing, you will be out of the loop.

4. I agree 100%

What does "Amazon" have to do with books? What does "Yahoo" have to do with internet browsing?
Yet, pets.com failed! Get my drift?

5. What is the website about?

Although with Amazon.com, Monster.com, Google.com, etc... I guess it doesn't really have to match up anyway. Just a thought.

7. Good name if your a lefty if your looking to get traffic get some

links on bartcop moveon and of course du. If you have it together well take a look at the hated and liberal oasis. Once you start getting high hits you will grow. Ask other people on du about their sites that is good market research for free.
