    Hey there,

    My assumption would be that the bots would be able to determine the domain name to be fishoil1.com.

    They can probably break domains down into parts, like if you have

    subDomain.domain.com

    They can probably see subDomain is the sub domain, domain is the domain, and com is the top level.

    I think I read somewhere subdomains have 1 PR rating subtrated from the domain PR.

    I really doubt a number would hurt :)

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    thanks lol" it seems like romurs could knock your quote" I mean I hate to waste good bread on another funky domain but my competitors seem like they are dominating the fish oil territory with their domains currently I haven't seen many fishoil domains with numbers in them especially in the top listings my observation is based on top domain search lol"

    The number would just dilute the effectiveness of the domain in my opinion. Better without the number if you can.

    The number only helps if you are trying to compete with another well established site that has a number or numbers in their domian.

    For example some sites use 247 in their domain as in, open 24 7, or 365, as in 365 days per year.

    Thank for the seo contribution kelouba" as you know a domain is as important as the web site it self I believe that domain relevancy is key to the visual aspects of your content " if some one stumbled over your site they might see your domain first" if they are looking for fish oil they will see this clearly" however the bots are the more of a concern to me" especially dot coms- the search engines chase dot coms randomly I have seen dot US up in the ranks but more so your top listed searches always relevant to a .com structure"
    cheers"
