poll Domain name with plural and singular noun, which is better?

[craco]

Hi every one,
In your opinion, domain name with plural and singular noun, which is better?
For example, MyBook.com and MyBooks.com, which one do you prefer? (please choose one, don't say you like both)

 

[Kostas]

generally the plural is better and more valuable.

 

[namerav]

Obviously MyBooks.com - Simple reason is lot of ideas can be created with this domain.

 

[craco]

In this case, shorter may not be better?

 

[Kostas]

one letter doesn't make a difference. In this particular case mybook is more appropriate for a smaller wide of projects like namerav said

 

[topgrade]

The shorter the better. MyBook.com sounds more appealing.

 

[JudgeMind]

I like both, my books sounds like an accounting name while my book sounds like an album name

 

[craco]

Wow, your opinions are very different. How can I create a poll? Don't know where

 

[JudgeMind]

Should be an option for a poll if you edit your original post and choose more options

MyBook

Agree, plural is better, plural domain commonly has more chances of ranking for the singular than the other way around due to the singular term is generally contained in it as well.

If you're selling just ONE book, the singular MyBook.com would be better; if you're setting up a bookstore, then the plural MyBooks.com is way better.

100% agree with @Ms Domainer. However there are many different uses for the name, and depending on the 'type' of business, it might not make sense. Example: Facebooks vs Facebook?, AudioBooks vs AudioBook? You will find the correct answer by visiting each site and discovering the redirect.

Note: If you are smart you will own BOTH. Just like Auciobook.com redirects to Audiobooks.com, because it makes sense and sounds better. And just like Facebooks.com redirects to Facebook.com because it makes sense and sounds better.

If you can't afford both, buy the one that makes sense and sounds better(even if it cost more), then later you can buy the other as a defense to protect your brand.

I like them both just for different projects.. Both would work for a community site where you could list which book you have read and discuss it with like minded people..

MyBooks would be great for accounting.. It just depends on what you want to do with it.

 

[Ms Domainer]

Yes, usage is important.

If you're setting up a Bookie site, then the singular MyBook.com would be best.

Hi, thanks for your opinion. All nice ideas!
Of course, like you said, we should own both, and i'm talking about choosing which one to introduce

 

[Chris Wright]

As many have said, which one to introduce depends on exactly what your applied usage will be.
We don't know which product(s) or service(s) you intend to offer, so the answers must necessarily be less specific than you may wish for.

MyBook

 

[LaunchUp.com]

MyBooks sounds best at first glance but is limited to use. MyBook.com is short and brandable like MySpace.com and thus have a wider range of uses. eg.. At mybook you can find the best.......

MyBook.com is the winner in my book!
