Finding a good one-word and even two-words domain name is difficult. Wondering, any implications if we choose a one-word domain name with a digit (e.g. 7oneword.com or oneword7.com) ?
Personally, I think domains with digits on the end like freecreditreport21.com look like cheap, imitation sites... not legitimate sites. I would never click on one of those types of domains even if it ranked in the top 3. From an SEO perspective, I'm not sure if having the digit(s) in the URL will prevent you from benefiting from having an EXACT match domain name or not honestly. Keyword rich domain name's mainly benefit you when they are an exact match for the search phrase, so not having an ideal domain name means I'm basically giving up the boost on a single keyword phrase. Domain names that partially match the search phrase don't seem to carry much if any more weight than having those same keywords in the folder names and page names in the URL. So for me, I would rather have a less desireable domain name that looks legitimate (no hyphens, no digits, with .com TLD) any day of the week than to have a domain with a particular keyword phrase with hyphens or digits (and/or .net, .biz, .info as the TLD).
domain name with numbers added to it lacks credibility and spreads the impression that the domain owner was running out of ideas. unless tha number you are using represents your site or business. for example, lucky7.com could be a good name for a gambling site but A1Locksmith.com would be a poor name
well, i agree with this guy. If you would use a domain name like forum4webmasters for a forum, where webmastersforum is not available, it will be a good idea to use numbers rather creating a domain name like webmaster5646
