Word order in a domain name

**paul** · 05-03-2004, 05:21 PM

I noticed today that variations of the term "Science Fair" get 30,000+ searches per day. No doubt much of this is seasonal.

I looked around for available names and needless to say, they are prettry much taken. For some reason I thought to try "fair science" and it was available.

The word tracker tool at digitalpoint returns the same results for either version. Google returns 3,890,000 pages for fair science and 3,900,000 for science fair. If the words are quoted it changes to 847,000 for science fair vs 11,000 for fair science. My guess would be almost no one uses quotes.

I realize fair science doesn't have exactly the same meaning.

I am sure there are other word pairs like this and would be interested in learning more about any implications of word order for SEO.

I'd get it quick if you wanted it, certain people reading this
would just go and buy it.

I figured it was an expensive posting

but I get really tired of the "I was thinking about xyz". Besides, names are cheap and available, it's doing something with them that is hard.
