domain Another Overture Question...

[GoPC]

When using Overture to evaluate a potential value of a name, what do you do when the domain is TWO names?

Do you search the names together and see if they've been searched together or do you search one phrase with two words or search each word separately?

Do you then add up the total to get a search figure?

I'm still regularly confused about Overture but I'm using it because everyone says to... it just doesn't always follow logic.

search both words together

Generally for a 2-word domain, you want to know how often the words are searched together as well as how often they're used together. It would be nice if OST results split up the amounts of searches by the singular/plural, the order, and with additions of words like "my", "the", and other words along with some typos that often get dumped into the results. Instead, you get a figure that can be misleading. That's why Google results help a bit, indicating the usage of the phrase, and you can compare the results with the singular/plural, different ordering, etc. and somewhat get a feel for how the OST search total might break down. The usage might not always resemble the searches, but it's better than simply trusting OST results entirely as they're shown.

For instance, I almost got Moons.in when I saw the OST for "moon" which I knew included the plural. However, upon seeing Google results being far lower for "moons" compared to "moon", I realized people probably rarely search for the plural, and I decided not to get the name.

Just for clarification... by TOGETHER you mean two words with no spaces between them.

For Example... here's the three ways I', asking about:

MyExample
My Example
My
Example

So, you're suggesting that I search "MyExample" together, no spaces. Correct?
