Usage of "Home" in Domain.

Obviously there can be advantages to having "home" in a keyword string but I was wondering if anyone thinks it would be a viable option for a domain name OR might this dilute any SE benefits of having relevant keywords within the domain itself??

Example: if www.prizedwidgets.com and www.prized-widgets are both taken, use one of the following:

www.prized-widgets-home.com
www.prizedwidgets-home.com

Thanks.

Thirdcatgy,

Why "home" specifically? I'd prefer something like "store" or "shop" maybe even "online"...

IMO online is a good one as is good-keyword-at-the-end.com for all those people that search for whatever.com

Thirdcatgy, I'm certainly no expert, but I think you are going along good lines.

Maybe another good way to get a "semi-preferred" URL is to maybe use a stopword?
