Question on 2 words domain names.

[prouser01]

which 2 word domains are considered better to have and worth more money that have the last alphabet of the first word same as the first alphabet of the 2nd word. For example, a domain with 2 words of crazy yard. Therefore, is it better to get a domain as crazyard.com or crazyyard.com or even crazy-yard.com (and same for .org, .net only )? Please someone let me know that has a similar experience dealing with these types of domain names because I don't want to spend wasteful $ getting all kinds of domain name related to these kind of situation.

Obviously CrazyYard.

Crazy-Yard has the hyphen which lowers the domain's value. CrazYard just doesn't make sense (domains like this are called brandable and are essentially made-up words - like Google and Yahoo - which require a lot of marketing/promotion). So you need to buy domains with meaningful keywords and possibly without hyphen(s). Here you will find what factors give value to a domain name.

The correct spelling has far greater value.

Ideally, none of the above. A repeating last and first letter should always make one pause before buying. It's not a deal breaker though.

Spellings like crazyard are trash. Hyphens are trash also unless the keywords are very, very strong.

Just beware of the Google keyword tool that a lot of domainers talk about. It is aggressively utilized by domainers selling to noobs using sales text like "High paying keyword!" or "4,200 searches per month! Massive $3.81 PPC!" Do not start buying domains based entirely on those figures or you are going to drown.

Agree. You should fully understand a tool before using it. And the best tool is always good ol' common sense.
