Which domain to use?
The quest for a new laptop is over. After days of dealing with numerous ebay auctions, I finally my Dell Inspiron pink laptop. I paid more than I wanted $305. I was hoping to pay no more than $260. But I couldn’t wait any longer. My biz is being severely limited by not having a good working computer. So now I’m eagerly awaiting the delivery of “Pinkie”. Yes, I name my appliances, and my cars. Silly huh?
Ok, got a quick question for any readers out there. I’m getting ready to make a static site about dogs. I own 2 names DogTips.org (the .com extension was taken) and YourDogCare.com. Which one do you like better. Now on the surface, I’d pick the Your Dog Care one since it has .com on the end. And we all know .com is king. That’s what most people think of when entering web addresses. But I do really like the name Dog Tips. It’s short and sweet. Of course there’s an .org at the end instead of .com and that’s why I can’t completely embrace that one. One of my mentors, Willie Crawford, says that he often uses .org because it assumes authority to a site and it often ranks well in google. So that makes me feel better if I do decide to pick the dog tips name. So leave a comment and help me decide! PLEASE!
My life tip is about gas. I know the prices have gone down (Thank God!) but they slowly seem to be creeping up. To find the best prices in your area, msn-autos will give them to you. You can also get your local traffic reports and driving directions.

I would totally use yourdogcare.com
I did some quick keyword research and I think you could rank better for that by far using dog care as your main keyword phrase.
As for using .org, when I see it I always think it should be for non profits or government type sites. But I would not use .org at all because if you do a quick Google search for dog tips, there is a domain in use with a dash so anyone looking that would come up. I dunno, just thinking out loud.
