    disagree - i have a domain name that is 21 letters long and is on page 1 of google on some very big searched phrases !
    dont think the length makes any difference other then there is more chance the end user may type it in wrong.

    Yup - I too have a longer domain that out ranks others. Actually I wouldn't know what the definite answer is. I think as long as your site is built well and is structured correctly you should be ok. Although longer names are harder to remember/ on the eyes...

    what keywords do you search and you find that site on the top position?
