Default need help with domain names - 11-13-2004 , 09:35 PM






I am buying a few right now, but I am thinking I should buy the
lawfurniture.com and the
lawn-furinture.com

as in the hyphenated version.

which is more popular?

Thanks

Did you mean to spell them incorrectly?

I am a dope.

I did not finish. Thanks.
What I meant was, which is better..a hyphenated domain name or one word,
also what about singular and plura.

Thanks again

SEO thinking: hyphenated
Oral sharing: one word - but one hyphen may be okie dokie
Business card: either/or - short but catchy is best either way since
space is limited

Most people, I would think, would look for lawn furniture versus lawn
furnitures. But that's just my opinion.

Oooh! New term! "Oral sharing!" I like that, Carol; it is a lot easier
to say than "communicating a URL by telephone or in a radio spot ad."
Oral sharing. Nice!

Cordially,

I was looking through domain names today and caught myself saying them
out loud as if sharing them with someone else. LOL!

You probably already know this, but to protect yourself it might be a
good idea to buy them both and only use the best one. ) With the
other one you would leave it empty or put your address there or a
NON-clickable URL to the other name in case someone gets confused and
uses the wrong one. No URL forwarding though! Bad, very bad. )

We're still trying to understand the difference between good and bad
as far as doorway pages, so if this is a bad idea what I said please
say so. Just guessing. ) That's why I said the "non-clickable" URL.
In other words not a hyperlink. If there's a clickable hyperlink that
might be a doorway page, and we don't know yet if these are bad
always. We see a lot of them in searches but this does not mean we
always will. )

Engines, by and large, will see lawn-furniture.com as a two word
domain name. They'll know what they're about.
Engines, by and large, will see lawnfurniture.com as a one word domain
name. They won't know what it's about.
