    Hi!

    I want to learn your ideas about choice of singular or plural domain names. Which one do you prefer? Which one is better?

    For example selldomain.com or selldomains.com

    Of course these domains are not mine:) But i wish...

    Don't look at the potential negatives which is unlikely to happen if you are protected. 2 girls can give you double the pleasure. ;)

    Back to the original question, in your example the plural one is definately better & would be worth more.

    "in your example the plural one is definately better & would be worth more"

    I am also thinking like that but singular domains are generally shorter 1 letter, sometimes 2 letters and it makes a question mark for me.

    Getting both and redirecting one to the other would make the most sense, if they are both available.

    In your example, yes it would. Get both the singular & plural version if you want & redirect one to the other so you catch all the traffic that might go to the other name

    Ofcourse very true :D anyways i think it's better to register the singular version but before that you can analyze the keyword on adword keyword tool and another good idea is to register both and 301 redirect to the domain you will use.

    I would always use Singular, try a search and see which comes first in the results. Be aware, that if someone is good with SEO, they may not even use the word at all in their domain and still be in the top page/s with a catchy rememerable domain name.
