10Facts.com or TenFacts.com - which to use?

korzon · Sep 2, 2005

Hey guys,

I'm starting a new site that will be content rich and contain "Ten facts about" articles on various subjects.

I own both domains, and obviously one will redirect to the other - but I don't know which one to use as primary!

My first instinct was to use TenFacts.com - because I don't like numbers in the domain name.

Then I saw that there are 35,500 google results for "10 facts" as opposed to only 23,900 for "Ten Facts".

Oh, I can't decide! help!

10Facts is brandable and shorter. The 1 and the 0 are on each end of the number row, so they aren't that hard to type. It's names with things like 411 or 360 etc that get tough and are prone to typos. Logos would look better with 10Facts too.

Usually I like domains without numbers better than domains which contain
numbers, but in this case you should use 10Facts.com. First, it is more
brandable than the "ten facts" version. Second, it's really the "10" which
plays a role on your website. I also agree with azt that the logo would look
better with a 10 in it. The only fact which would be against using 10facts
are the Google results. Anyway, you can still include both terms in the meta
tags and title of your website. So, my choice is: 10Facts.com.
