Hello,
I have a question :
let's say I found a niche called "niche" with x monthly research ( According to google keyword planner), and I ffound the domain name "niche".com unavailable.
There is only "niches".com available, but "niches" has half of the monthly reasearch.

i want to tagret the keyword "niche", can the domain name "niches.com" target the same keyword ?
I mean, can I rank with "niches.com" for the keyword "niche"?
In other words, and as john1444 said, can I have a domain name "abc.com" and rank for "123"?

Thank you.

optimize for the plural, it gives you both.

And what about if I add "-" between the terms? or add "the"?

adding a hyphen makes it worse from user's perspective.
If its only for IM hyphen may or may not be that much of a distraction. But in the long run, you'd still be irritated with that hyphen some day.

I would suggest onlineniches or bigniches
try to put closest adjective related to your niche and mash it with your 'niches' - you have a domain name then

It's a whitehat niche, and I think I'll add the-nicheterm1-nicheterm2.com.
would it get the results of nicheterm1-nicheterm2.com ?

Go for names that include "niche" but not necessairily EMD, you avoid getting too much attention and IMO it's better for SEO.

Boy, where did you pop out from?

You can have a domain name "abc.com" and rank for "123".

What matters is your On Page SEO.

You can do it. But its not looks good. Im also not sure how it will work. Better is niches.com. Go with it.

if niches.com is available, you should go with it. Avoid hyphens.
I would prefer a short adjective instead of a hyphen.

Domain has no relevance to ranking. The only time a domain matters is when the competition is low

Search "car" and you see cars.com is #1, now you know the answer?

I personally don't think that matters at all. In my point of view, as long as you do your SEO right, you will rank. No matter where your hosted or what is the name of your site.
