When I started buying .info domains on the aftermarket I wondered whether to buy the singular or plural of words. With some words, its obvious which one is more valuable but with others, it's less clear.
I ended up going for plurals and bought rates.info, prices.info and words.info. My logic was if you'd expect to find more than one of the words in question on the developed site the plural is preferable.
That rule doesn't always work though. I'd rather own law.info than laws.info even though you'd probably get more than one law on law.info but I'd prefer lawyers.info to lawyer.info. So perhaps you have to add the caveat that plural is preferable if more than one item is expected unless the singular is a topic or subject because then it's a proxy for the plural anyway, for example with law or food.
I suppose the ideal situation is to buy the plural and singular but with premium generic .infos that's a bit like buying the house next door so you don't have any problems with your neighbours.
Below is a list of .info domain sales from 2002 which has several examples of singular and plurals of the same word with price comparisons. Is there a set of golden rules to follow with singular and plural .info valuations or is every .info different?

I ended up going for plurals and bought rates.info, prices.info and words.info. My logic was if you'd expect to find more than one of the words in question on the developed site the plural is preferable.
That rule doesn't always work though. I'd rather own law.info than laws.info even though you'd probably get more than one law on law.info but I'd prefer lawyers.info to lawyer.info. So perhaps you have to add the caveat that plural is preferable if more than one item is expected unless the singular is a topic or subject because then it's a proxy for the plural anyway, for example with law or food.
I suppose the ideal situation is to buy the plural and singular but with premium generic .infos that's a bit like buying the house next door so you don't have any problems with your neighbours.
Below is a list of .info domain sales from 2002 which has several examples of singular and plurals of the same word with price comparisons. Is there a set of golden rules to follow with singular and plural .info valuations or is every .info different?
