What do you guys think?

This domain name national-real-estate-directory.com is not ranked in Google except for "national real estate directory".

The domain name is 2 years old. It may be on it's way to FINALLY outrank the others but I am not sure (hard sometimes to be objective about your own sites).

We also own http://www.realestateforum.com and it ranks for basically anything if you use it right. Should I move this forum to the other domain name or wait?

Doesn't anyone else find that amazing? There are only a few real estate forums and one that is 2 yrs, has many inbound quality links yet does not appear in the search results. At least in this case Google fails miserably for relevant search results. Could it be there is something slightly wrong with their filtering and tweaking multiple alogos? Naw, they know what they are doing, don't they?

It's hard to understand at this point. I don't know if I want to switch it but for some reason age is so important and realestateforum.com has been indexed for about 5 years.

I have always thought that you bought realestateforum.com after starting this and that you had always intended to switch it.

Do something else with this domain... I do not like it. This is not a directory, it's a forum. Lets give it the appropriate URL.

Com'on... do it... com'on... you know you want to... do it... com'on... this weekend!

Okay.

My opinion is counted... and it looks like I'm the only one with an opinion.

RealEstateForum.com is probably a good bet. Want to sell the name? Well, if you don't use it, I'm certainly interested. Otherwise, good luck using it!!!
