How number is treated in domain name?
For example
"room4rent"
"car4hire"
"care4hire"
"someonespecial4u"
What is your opinion to include no in domain is easy to remember for general people, it is a trick get noticed, or you think it as bull****. Please give your opinion. Thank you.

I don;t think it;s bull. It's a valid method but too easy to screw up and get folks pointed to the version without the number.

These are Google Toolbar PR ratings, but I think I proved my point.

The site I spend way too much time on and what started my love affair with the library's filters:

edit: Oh, w3 has a granted pr10, it's not a true pr10. Them and the ICANN sites.

If the numbers are suitable and also pronounce well then there is no problem including number in a domain name but it should be fit enough to understand the meaning.
