Is it better to use single word domain?

I am usually using a single word domain on my website. Does it really works better than multiple word domain?

 

1 -2 word domains are cool but its tough to get 1 word domains nowadays

 

I would prefer more accurate term. If that two word name is more apposite than one word name, I would use that two word name and sell one word name


Bleah..crazy written

 

more is shorter and it is easy to remember

 

It depends. When you have site about female haircuts, then FemaleHaircircuts.com will get bigger seo bonus on keyword "female haircuts" than only Haircuts.com, am I right?

 

Depends on the context.. multi word domains might do better for SERP, but they are harder to type and harder to remember. I think most people would prefer a single word domain, but they aren't readily available...

 

Okay, I agree

 

For Seo Purposes, You need to try to match your domain name to whatever keyword you are targeting.

 

I will try the single word domain since this is the best that you have guys suggested and still I can find the appropriate keyword that describe my website using a single word.

 

One Meaning Word Is Very Good

 

One word with proper meaning is hard to find these days. Also 2-3 words which describe your business appropriately/properly are a good choice for domains.

 

Yes, it does.Just think of youtube, google, wikipedia, facebook or even digitalpoint.All those domains are 1-2 words, which are easy to remember.In nowadays many companies use "first letter of the word" domains for example "The Best Domain Ever" = bde.com or something like that.Multiple words/long or difficult domains are just hard to remember and it takes time to type one in your address bar.Ofc some people use bookmarks for that, but hey not all internet users knows what's a bookmark(talking about newbies) and telling people to bookmark your page so they can remember it later is just stupid if you ask me, but sometimes multiple word domain can be self-advertising.For example someone is looking for a haircut website or trance music website atleast few % of all ppl would just type "trancemusic.com" or "besthaircutsofalltimes.com" instead of googling for websites.
Overall:
Mostly it depends on what kind of a website you're hosting, but 1-2 short word domains>all if you ask me.

 

What You´ve described is type-in traffic (person just type what he/she wants to adress bar). For this is single word domain much better. For me is much easier imagine person who types in "Haircut.com" than "CoolFashion2010Hairstyles.com". This is the reason why are these single word generic domains so rare.

 

it is better to have a single word domain because (1) it is easier to remember (2)it is far more expensive than 2-3 word domains if you sell it.

anyway, goodluck if you ever get a 1 word domain at a cheap price..

 

Welcome Mr. Redwing.
Me>ALL.

As for an domains. I complete agree with Akirakei.
Make it short, easy to remember and brandable.

I might be able to add something - think outside the box, even if you offer an shoes, you domain or name of company doesn't have to be about the shoes - it could be just random stuff - make sure u can brand it, and it's catchy it's about it.

Do the words like - google, yahoo, have a meaning ? Well, maybe they do now but they didn't 20 years ago. Or just shortcuts, i bet no-one knows what does msn stands for but it's branded so well, so everyone knows what is it and what it does. MSN - Microsoft Network

 

It'll be a lot easier to remember a single word domain than it is to remember a longer one. As long as the single word domain is easy to spell, I'd say use it

 

Single word may be better, but hard to fine. Double words are good...try something related to your site/product, catchy, and easy to remember.

 

Two words or less is always best. unless your market goal is very specific, then having long is allright

 

I think long is OK...
