Do the amount of words in a domain have a dramatic effect on its worth if you have for example 3 words (totalling 14 characters) even if its a great sounding, easy to remember name, easily pronounced etc, does the fact that it has 3 words really affect its price in a big way? I understand there are the other factors like age, extension etc, but mostly concentrating on the above factors, what are your opinions please? PS: none of the words being the, and, for etc
Sometimes 3-4 word domains if they get type in traffic it can be highly targeted and quite lucrative. Each one you have do decide on an individual basis.
kohashi, i know what you mean, with certain domain choices it could work but with others it may not be ideal, depending on certain things, thanks, i appreciate you feedback. 4seamer, hopefully if a name is chosen well i think that could be useful, but similar to kohashi's suggestion i guess i need to approach each name decision individually, thanks for your advice too.
Decide what your goal is first and consider everything (ie budget, goals, lifespan, etc) If you plan on building a business for years around the domain, short and memorable makes more sense than a long keyword in some cases. However, if it is a niche particularly a geo location, <city>servicenamekeywords.com may make perfect sense. If you just are making an adsense site domain quality is less an issue often, etc.
Great advice Kohashi, i will take all of that on board, thanks Spartation, that a good point, i agree, if its too complex it wont help, thanks tarponkeith absolutely, wherever possible i will try hard for a short a memorable name, thanks Good advice guys, i appreciate it.
