Site Domains

Joeyl · 25-05-2011, 01:53:27 PM

Hey,

Usually when I have bought domains previously they have had thought into purchasing, but have never really made a site about a specific product which I want to start doing.

I haven't bought the domains yet, but in terms of value what domain would be better, to have a plural version or just one.

For example,

SuitCases
Or SuitCase

Personally if I was looking for suit cases, then that is what I would put but then some people may put it as one object, just wondering people's thoughts??

Thanks
Joey

Mainly my opinion rather than personal experience (as I don't have enough yet...)

The plural (unless it's odd) contains the singular ie. suitcases so I would usually go for the plural as I think it looks better for a shop/aff site selling more than one type of suitcase, and you can cover both keywords.

Depends whether you are buying for development or re-sale though...

My persoanl preference is plural however I know that a majority of time web users search for the non plural.

I would go for the non plural.

You often see non-plural keyword searches a lot higher than the plural however, in terms of a domain I think the plural looks SO much better.

I would have the plural on most occasions.

Thanks guys,

As I am developing the sites I think I would go for Plural as it sounds better.
