Re: french appraisal
I own a lot 'rachat'+'credit', here I own the .com
A good market if you plan to dev, but to resale, there's too much possibilities (hyphen, sing/plur, ascii/idn, with or without 'de'): rachatcredit rachat-credit rachatdecredit rachat-de-credit rachatcredits rachat-credits rachatdecredits rachat-de-credits so 8 possibilities X n extensions X 2 (ascii/idn) = too much possibilities + confusion possible <=> not much value imo except if you dev. If it was ascii, I'd suggest to keep but here in idn.net and if you don't plan to dev, it's more difficult. But you can always try because it's a good mkt and dot.net are cheaper... we'll never know. BR, L@@K

Re: french appraisal
L@@k, gave you the best possible answer on his appraisal. That is definitely something to look out for in general with IDNs.
Just confirming what he said. Nick

Re: french appraisal
IDN just adds to the question.
Unless it's a geo name, no domain has a single form. One keyword has singular and plurar. Two keywords can have 25 versions! Yes, 25! word(s)(-)word(s) In my opinion, it's a false question. I can give you a clear example: "Crédito Habitação" = Mortgage Loans in Portuguese. It has 121 combinations (when including IDN and semi-idn and the "de" and "-" between each word (3 keywords) BUT, the above form is how it apears everywhere. There was even recently (after I got the IDN released a new site (ascii) with that form.I have never seen an ascii domain be appraised based on the number of alternative variants it can have, altought that can be implicit. One keyword is one keyword. So, to sum up this long post, there's always a better than all other's variant. |

In your case Mike, the form that I would have registered would be "rachatdecrédit.tld" Nick

Re: french appraisal
If you were a buyer would you buy one of the 121 combinaisons ?
That is the real question, no? Off course for a webmainer, as you, things are differents. It's all a question of price and goals of course, but for a end user, one of the 121 combinations is the worst imo, because you have too much confusion with your competitors... For this key, my best choice were "renégociation.com" coz it's one word, quite unique (only idn/ascii), no plurial, memorable and it summarize all the mkt. Moreover I've got the .fr (none pbm to have the idn for this key). So not only geo are unique. I've got several names that are really unique, only those imo are really valuable. My intention was he understand the 'de' for this key. It's the same with other great key as jeuxvidéo, jeux-vidéo, jeuxvidéos, jeuvidéo.... A great mkt but too much keys = for me, good only in com, cctld or to dev. BR

Now, even "-" is seen as " " to Google's eyes. (This is official) Also plurals and "de" are not counted also. (are seen as singular) So, many of those 121 variants have the same starting point. It's just a matter of keeping up with Google algorithm and reg what has potential. Of course these domains are worth as keywords domains. Other domains are valuable for being a brandable word. It's a very different issue. |

Taken by Dabsi. Thanks to you, Nic, and Pierre for your comments. Do you guys think that French like the "-" better or without? . |

Re: french appraisal
Let's say the community is divided, I'd say 1/3 prefer with hyphens because of SEO reasons and our tradition of development. To be perfectly honest I'll add that domaining is younger in France so a lot of good domains without hyphens have been taken by Canadian french speakers

Re: french appraisal
The usual advice is to avoid hyphens when you can avoid it. But one thing to consider is that some languages use dashes in some terms as a matter of course. Even in English, something like E-marketing makes sense to register with a dash. So it all depends on the term IMO. And also, there is always the SEO argument to consider.

"rachat(s) + crédit(s)" form : With an hyphen, so the form you registered is good IMO. "rachat(s) + de + crédit(s)" form : No hyphens Keep in mind that this is from my way of seeing things, I'm curious to see what is the position of our other French speaking members. Nick

Re: french appraisal
Recent trends point to "-" being considered a "stop" word. (like "the" or "and")
So it f* every seo value of a keyword... it's like having rachatsomethingcredit This is only on Google English algorithm so far. Try it. |

Re: french appraisal
I'm sorry but I'm not agree.
The 'de' have an importance for seo... (for what I know & in french mkt) Simply because some people search with 'de' and other without. If you search with and without 'de' on gg.fr, you will see some differences in the gg results. For example, with 'de', first is -rachatdecredit/org, without, first is -solutioncredit/com. It's why you will see as well in the title of the websites the two expression with and without de. Always interesting to analyse title... Ex for -solutioncredit/com: Tiltle "rachat credit, rachat de credit (...)" This guy has probably tested all combinations, we can trust him. Moreover, I'm especially on another keyword since years, a keyword which contain sometimes de and sometimes not, and I can certainly say to you there's a difference in seo & gg results. It's why I bought some with de, and some without... Each will be optimized for only one expression. Clearly, the 'de' have an importance, 100% guarantee, 8 years of experience on some keys Dudes, always in 1st page... ! (in a very competitive mkt as rachat de crédit, but not this). Interesting post, Mike you have the 'appraisal of de l'année' !

L@@k, I tend to agree with you on this topic the more I think about it. There are two demographics of searchers: lazy, and articulate. For mass market products, I think you will find the most lazy people, so they simply search without de or d' . For the articulate people, which hopefully represent the "high end" of the market(s) and are therefore the minority, I believe that they search with de or d'. Of course these are generalizations and you will find exceptions in both demographics. Just my opinion... . |
