    It will neither hurt nor hinder you.

    It's what you do with the domain that counts.

      I agree...people put too much weight into the domain name.

      EMD's for example might give you an ever so slight advantage, but if the person doesn't know what their doing the EMD value is nil.

    It also depends on how you will be marketing the site. If your promotions include having people type in the domain to go to your site, having a number like "4" in place of the word "for" is going to cause loss of traffic to the owner of the site that uses "for".

    If your only concern is the SEO aspect, any domain name can be used. As others have mentioned, it has a whole lot more to do with how well you optimize the website and build a strong presence.

    Keep in mind that you'll get a better click through rate from the search engines if your domain name makes sense and looks attractive to the person searching.
