    Say that you wanted to buy a domain name with a keyword in it with either an "i" or "e" prefix before it, which is better & would be worth more. For example, iProperty.com or eProperty.com?

    Let's presume that the keyword does not start with an "i" or an "e" as well.

    I would prefer e because it's easier to pronounce and remember than i in my opinion.

    I like e. Easy to pronounce and quite prevalent. We see many sites use e to mean electronic. Good for people who guess at domains. I have prefixed some words with e and got the sites I wanted.

    I would say e for the most part, but as zerosleep said there are some cases where the i would be better..

    Well e was the first popular prefixe followed by i
    Even i like "i" and registered imp3.org for example i do believe if you compare these two, "e" would be the winner

    I think it depends on the word after the i or e.

    As mentioned eProperty is probably better.

    "e" is the more valuable prefix. In saying that though, I would prefer a hyphenated domain over a prefix.
