    Hi all,

    When choosing a domain name, it is better to have www.keyword+place.co.uk OR www.place+keyword.co.uk.

    When I check Google adwords to see which order is most commonly searched for, they seem to lump both together.

    Many thanks to anyone who replies.

    My next website is for a nursery in bury st edmunds. I suppose what I am asking is are more people likely to key into Google/yahoo "nursery bury st edmunds" OR are more people likely to key "bury st edmunds nursery"??

    Problem solved - have now found the "exact match" option in Google adwords - for the nursery scenario "nursery + bury st edmunds" is way better than "bury st edmunds + nursery" although - interestingly, when I checked out hotels + place vs place + hotels the results were the exact opposite!

    As you can see from my siganture, have now bought a nurseryburystedmunds.co.uk domain.
