Singular versus Plural???

[metrisoft]

Generally speaking, for a targeted product e-Commerce site, is it better to use a singular domain name or a plural? For example, "Widget" versus "Widgets". I find that google search results are generally higher for the singular but the plural seems to make more sense to me if you are browsing for products.

Also, which is better for resale?

My personal view on this is that it depends on the name and purpose. Ie KEYWORDgirls rather than KEYWORDgirl for an adult site. KEYWORDShop rather than KEYWORDshops for an ecommerce shop.

i agree with above opinion.if you have money,take both,direct 1 to the other.

agreed. it DEPENDS on the keyword/phrase.

HalifaxPropertyListing .com implies just one home
HalifaxPropertyListings .com implies MANY homes for sale

HomemadeToy .com
HomemadeToys .com

NamePro .com
NamePros .com

Pick the one that makes the most SENSE to you.

GOOD LUCK.

Personally I would check which keyword i searched more highly for example, "Apartments" has double the search volume of "Apartment":
http://www.google.com/trends?q=apartments,+apartment

Where as "Puzzle" has more than "Puzzles"
