keyword-place OR place-keyword?

[jj1]

Is it better to have a domain name with keyword+place OR place+keyword?

Google adwords doesn't seem to separate the two when I check which are more commonly searched for. Does anyone have any views?

For example, should I have nurseryplace.co.uk or placenursery.co.uk?? That is are more people likely to key into Google "nursery place" OR "place nursery"???

Many thanks to anyone who replies!

I always think that using PlaceKeyword.co.uk is best, i find it more appealing to the eye and it is also normally how people will search:

To use your example (i would have use nusery but it doesn't yield enough searches), here are the local results from google keyword tool using "exact" searches:

hotels bury st edmunds - 1,000
bury st edmunds hotels - 8,100

Also, by using the examples, if both domains in this situation are free to reg then grab them both and redirect one to the other.

Many thanks bensd - I hadn't found the exact match in Google Adwords. It's very useful and exactly what I want.

Interestingly, when I use it to check "nursery london" vs "london nursery" the results are the exact opposite of "hotels suffolk" and "suffolk hotels" scenario! "nursery london" = 1300 ; "london nursery" = 140. The results are the same for New York and Cambridge + nursery.

I then checked "hotel Cambridge" and "Cambridge hotel" and I got similar results to the one you said (Cambridge hotel was best).
