oh mate, this domain is too good for a wordpress blog.. a nice bird fan forum, with some good writers writing for you... love the pic of the Parrot though.
you see a lot of established hyphenated sites ranking very well with google & yahoo, developers are aware of this - so i don't understand why a lot of domain investors are not.
welcome Rob,
i can imagine a few well-established sites are scratching their heads as to where all their traffic has gone; not a problem though - they can simply pay google for adwords to get all their traffic back again, lol ;)
to be honest, im sick to the back teeth of seeing google ads...
surely the google instant system gives more emphasis to the first keyword in a domain name, as this is what will be dynamically displayed first when users are searching - it sort of renders secondary+ keywords irrelevant, because most users will have what they're looking for after the first...
ah, so google have changed their algorithm big style - i thought i was going mad the first time i used their new dynamic search.
I think liquidcherry is correct - google want users to migrate to Chrome.
