A domain name i really would like is taken , but what if i add say " 4U " at the end

[justwondering]

Okay , for example (these names are all gone etc and are used just to put my question across ) :-

www.carsales.co.uk , its gone of course , but i want a name that google would pick up on in its title , would i be better going for:- www.carsales4u.co.uk or www.carsales.org.uk

i know content is the most important factor when it comes to ranking

if the exact key search was car sales (acheiving say 25k exacts), would carsales4u.co.uk , with the exact phrase at the start of the domain name carsales4u.co.uk help at all ?

or would i be better with the .org.uk or a hypened version ?

If you're talking about developing and SEO-ing a site, you're probably better with the .org.uk because then you've got an exact-match to the main keyphrase inside the domain name. Or the hyphenated .co.uk.

Hi Edwin , indeed i was referring to SEO-ing a site , i was unsure about exact match if it would be covered based on a small addition to the back of the exact key phrase , on a broad search would it work do you know ?

As far as I'm aware it's called "exact match" because it needs to be an exact match to the search - so "minor" additions like "4u" or "i" aren't going to work...

What I've always wondered is whether Google sees keyword1-keyword2.co.uk as an exact match for term keyword1 keyword2, or is the hyphen another of those "minor additions" that spoil things?
