b & b domain question...

[Martha]

Hi!

My sister in law has a small b and b in a village in Wiltshire. I'm helping her out a bit with her site, and she needs a domain name. Do you think:

thevillagenamebandb.com

or

thevillagename-bedandbreakfast.com

i.e. do you think more people search for b and b , or for bed and breakfast?

I was leaning towards
thevillagename-bedandbreakfast.com
because I think it's easier to remember
and then optimising for the term 'B and B' in the text. Thoughts welcome and appreciated!!!

If I started again I would have the village name in my domain, whether you use bb or bed and breakfast would not really make any difference, put them in the meta tags but if its a famous village tagging and domaining will help a lot

We just have the name of our village.com, but as we are in france and have a gite aswell, we thought it would cover everything.

I agree with Pete, if you put both B&B, b and b and bed breakfast in the metatags (description) and use all different forms in your website text because these will also be picked up by the search engines.

OK great! We can definitely get the village name in, so all should be good! Thanks

Think the villagename-bedandbreakfast is too long with too much chance for spelling mistakes.

Would personally go for bandbvillagename or villagenamebandb

Thanks brenda!

Perhaps we'll get both, to be on the safe side.
