Interesting question of 2 versus 3-word domain (Unusual keyword situation)

[markfromslo]

This is an interesting question. Let's take the keywords "solar" and "solar energy" as an exmaple, although there are others like this. Solar Energy has more Overture than does Solar. However, I'd think Solar.com would be worth more than SolarEnergy.com.

But let's say you have a couple names like SolarEnergyEnterprises.com and SolarEnterprises.com. Assume the 3rd word adds no OVT value. Which is a more valuable name? Personally, I'd rather own the 2-word version, even though the OVT is higher with the 3-word.

What is your opinion on which is a more valuable domain name: SolarEnterprises.com or SolarEnergyEnterprises.com?

I would say Solar.com although I would personally prefer SolarPanel/s.com as it is an exact product that most people are likely to be looking for.

I have SolarProduction_c*m which too me, is more of a brandable type domain similar to SolarEnterprises or SolarEnergyEnterprises. Two words are better than Three for a brandable name.
