Certainly SOME Search Engines will give good results where the domain name
contains multiple words - Of course, the site neds to be "active" and been
indexed by the search robots for it to be found - with good meta keywords
and text in the home page as well it should get a very high rating.
However, purely as a single name for a site - I wouldn't rate it that
highly - but in combination with other names (Yes, you can point multiple
domain names at a single website) names like this one have a place in a
website's marketing campaign.

Hi Martyn & List
Although I was able to come up with other alternatives very quickly, that's
because the longer the string, the easier it is. Pure mathematics - a
30-character string with 27 possibilities for each character (alpha &
hyphen) is a real big number.
So on that basis the name's not worth much.
But not all of those possibilities make sense in English "cost-low" is not
so good as "low-cost" for example. That also cuts out about 99% of the
random strings.
More interestingly is the effect of a "smart browser". From my own
programming experience I'd suggest that low-cost-domain-names.com might
resolve (I suppose you can say that) better that lowcost-domainnames .com.
Anybody known anything about how "smart browsers" work? This definitely
affects the resale value of domain names. Think from a sales viewpoint.
Would the user type generic words into the subject-line of their browser?
Does the browser recognise spaces or hyphens? How does it resolve?
Any information would be appreciated.
