If both domain names are available do we go with the plural form since that contains the singular form as well (even though there is less search volume)?

Go for the keyword that has the most searches. It doesn't matter if singular or plural. Search count is what matters. Obviously the more the better.
It's best to work on one keyword and see if it converts before you go for the other keyword. Just a quick note. It takes hard work to just work on 1 keyword let alone 2 keyword. Get one to start paying money then move on.

Hello Nick,

Are you saying you do not use astore to link back to amazon. If yes what better linking do you use, Is it widget?

I have been trying to work around all the linkings including widgets, astore etc. but do not appreciate direct link to amazon as you state "I perefer not to link directly to amazon from any of my Niche Websites as I rather handle linking through nofollow redirects" - How do you mean by this statement.

Thanks in advance.....

And once again, thanks for your coaching....
