domain name question

[theking]

If you had a choice between a two word name...let us use for example...productshere...or a three word name such as buyproductshere...is the shorter name always the better name?

Opinions appreciated.

'productshere' ... what do they do???
'buyproductshere' ... ahh gotcha.

well

livecamsex

or

camsex

I'd take livecamsex

It depends on the words.

P.S. Shorter is often preferred... longer is for the guy who was a bit too slow to get the short one...or just get both...

[eatapeach]

i read a study that said 45% of all SE searches were 3 words long.

if you can find a 3 word keyphrase that is heavily searched you can SE optimize it and do well.

free sex receives way more hits but sex is better quality, payed sex is worth a lot

Yes if its a difference between having BUY in front of a product domain and not, its always better to have a 2 word domain and not 3. I cant think of a single case where having a 3 word domain is better than 2

But if you're that concerned buy both domains but put a site up on a shorter 2 word domain.

Short domains tend to get more type-in and memory traffic with the exception of the use of "Free" on the front which has tremendous pulling power.

It's clearly easier to brand a shorter name, again with a couple exceptions.

It also depends on the useage.

For example:

CheapUsedCars.com has certain advantages over UsedCars.com.

I think the real cutoff is when you go past 3 words and its remarkable how many people register 4 and up domains thinking they are going to be great moneymakers.
