Ask HN: Is having a website HelloWorldHQ.com bad for SEO?

Bad names are good for SEO. Good names have no intrinsic SEO value.

e.g. Twitter, Skype, Foursquare are all pretty good names. But have no SEO benefit.

e.g. local-activities.com is good for SEO, but I've already forgotten it, it's so generic.

So do you want to build a big business, or just a nice tickover organic traffic-based business. That's the decision. If it's the former, go for a great name. If it's the latter, go with SEO.

Thanks for your advice!! This was wxacty what I was thinking off too. Gut feels says to focus in building up the community and the world will spread online. Even if HelloWorld is already a heavily used term in programming
