keywroddir.TLD is better!
IMO, for site in English, try to avid number.
Imagine when one of your user talk your site with friends, he/she has to say keyword one two three dot TLD.

<So what's the exact domain typing of your site?> (Moderators <> emphasis)

Moderator's Note: Regarding the above and this thread in general, we do not allow members to post their specific domain names. We use Example.com, a domain that can never be "owned", or "keyword" to indicate a keyword and sometimes "widget.tld".

Hi Chinamv. Welcome to WebmasterWorld and the Domain Forum.

As a native English speaker I'd say Keyword+Dir will a) be "familiar", no require "branding efforts"; b) will send a clear message that "this IS a directory" vs. "what's 123 mean?"; and, c) will likely get some type-in traffic if the keyword is a popular search subject.

I'm the registrant of a number of directory domains and can vouch that they receive regular type-in traffic as stated, for the reasons stated.
