Advice with domain name choice

by hinadeane

Hello,

I am relatively new with domain selling. In relation with the double lettering, can anyone tell me if medicaleaders.com is better than medicalleaders.com ? Or is it the opposite? or is it better to stay away from these names?

    Domain selling isn't my game.
    But, like everyone, I have an opinion.
    I avoid names that can generate confusion. When someone needs to write a domain name down, the likelihood of error and lost visitors seems great. (Not all situations allow for copying and pasting URLs.)
    This, of course, doesn't answer your question of going with a double "L" or a single "L" in the names you've shown to us.
    Wouldn't know how to answer that other than a coin flip.
    Hope this helps at least a bit.

      Like neckrub I have an opinion to. I'm not an expert but I pretend I am one in my mind....

      Domain names. You can go for the exact domain match, good luck with that, trying to get that 12.37 percent seo boost.

      Or, you can just go with a catchy domain name such as "Infinite Internet" You would think people would click on your link just because of the name.

      Does Amazon have an exact domain match? No, but they're pretty successful anyway.

    In my opinion regarding double lettering, if the words are spelt with double letters, i.e., the one you quoted above, it doesn't make sense to me to cut out a letter. I say this because if I read it some where and told some one it, I would consciously put in the double letters in my mind because I would assume its stupid to put medicaleaders over medicalleaders.

    It's usually better to be grammatically correct if you can. If it has double letters, you have better chances of selling it with the double letters in there. That being said, I personally try to stay away from those types myself just because you have the potential of cutting yourself short.

    Thank you all for you inputs. I'm still in the learning process but can't help myself checking available domains. I picked up travelinsurancerating.com Don't know if that can be monetized... any opinions?

    Also are there any website that will sell the domain name for you in exchange for a percentage fee? Have you already used one?

    Use the correct spelling. Which would you prefer visit your website, the few who don't spell correctly, or the masses who do? If this was a site of any importance to my business, I'd register both. Redirect the misspelling to the correct one.

    having perfect domains for your website is very important, well it's not bad to have double letters in the domain as long as it's necessary. And you don't have to get rid of that domain names, you just put a domain wich is very easy to apply with.

    Definitely need to have the full, correct spelling. You could use hyphen to make it more discernable
    ...medical-leaders.com

    You should go for the one which is spelled correctly even if it has two letter simultaneously.
