For An Actual eCommerce Website What is the Best Option for a Name?

[Peachesbackwards]

Would appreciate anyones opinion on this. I'm actually doing eCommerce websites now and lets call one of the product items I want to sell, hypothetically, Bears. I want to put a specific word in front of bears, lets call this word hypothetically, Many. Let's also assume for the purpose of this thread, there is no substitute word for Many. "ManyBears" has millions of hypothetical hits but unfortunately ManyBears.Com is taken.

Am I best:

1. Using the name Many-Bears.Com
2. Using the name eManyBears.Com
3. Using the name ManyBears.Net
4. Using the name ManyBears.TV

Or does this not make a difference if I'm developing an actual site not flipping a domain name? Thanks for any answers

I couldn't say it matters much if you're developing. But go with a .com without the dash if you can. You don't want to go with the .net because it's just going to funnel traffic to the .com. eManyBears.Com may be your best choice.

I agree with Tia Wood

 

[CreationNation]

Also agree.

Have you not considered stuff like ManyBearsShop.com or ManyBearsStore.com etc. or do you not like the double "s"?

 

[Stinos]

Yes indeed, I would also go for the .com without dashes.

Thanks for your input. I'm definitely never going to consider - again The more I think about it, I'll probably hold off on the product altogether and switch to another one. When I tried doing a Google Search with the "e" etc etc.com there were basically no entries. For what I'm selling even adding a third word is too much! I'm also paranoid that people won't take anything less then .COM seriously in regards to doing business with ecommerce. I personally would be very reluctant to purchase online from a place that isn't a .COM. It's a psychological thing more then anything else. Somehow .net, .org, etc., sounds less then professional.

The dash will favour seo whereas the non dashed version is more for type in.

I have had very good success with keyword1-keyword2 urls but I use shopbrand.com when reading out the url over the phone. shopbrand.com is not indexed in the search engines.

I like the e-prefix even though many domainers will avoid it. I'd take the e before the hyphenated version.
