two word domain names & ov etc

Mendis · 12-03-2006, 11:57:54 PM

I wonder if anyone could enlighten me on this.
When researching domain names with 2 words in them like 'microsoftwindows', once you have done ov & google on the single phrase should you split the phrase into 'microsoft windows' to see what the ov & google results would be or would this have no baring on deciding a domains worth?

microsoftwindows ov gets 498 as one word or 52,000 if entered as 2 words.
in google returns 147,000 as microsoftwindows but over a billion if entered as microsoft windows. would the higher numbers make it more desirable?

you should try
"microsoft windows" - with the quotes (gives you a better idea for the phrase)

the higher numbers are only a small factor and in some cases could be detremental as it would make this site harder to find - with stiff competition from similar sites

if it was all as basic as numbers then once the formula was set we'd all be millionaires

Overture WITH extension, usedclothes vs usedcloths.com for example, is the most trustworthy indicator for type in traffic.
