How does the domain name affect your click in search results?

This post, in its essence, consists of some questions, each of which you answer without commenting several times a day. And completely unconsciously. Can you describe this unconscious in words now?

I'd like to know your opinions on what question. Imagine that you typed in a new query for yourself in Yandex or Google. From an area in which you do not know any reputable resources. How do you then, looking at the search results, decide where to click?

It is clear that you are looking at the name of the link and the snippet (the text below the link). Imagine that they all do not confuse you and focus on the other. Tell me, does the name of the domain itself affect your decision about the transition? And how does it affect?

Which domain is more attractive to you a priori:
1. Containing an English translation of words from this subject
2. Contains translit written words from this subject
3. Containing Russian words from this subject
4. Some short domain name without reference to this topic (such as, tut.ru/ “Article”)

I also really want to know if you are afraid of long domain names and the “.” zone? At some training I heard that it is bad if there are more than three words in the domain. Explained that SEO is bad. But in principle, SEO doesn’t bother me.

Perhaps you now have a question: "What is all this?". It all started with the fact that I made a couple of large thematic materials, but I did not have decent places to put them. And I just picked up and duplicated the title of the material in the domain name, turning the materials into single-page sites of sheets. After some time, I wondered, did I get excited? Do not scare visitors such monstrous domains? Maybe we should move to something short?

Let's go to the examples. Imagine that you are doing home repairs and want to find out how to lay the laminate with your own hands? You type this query in a search engine, get a bunch of links to articles on different sites, such as shkolazhizni.ru or master-laminata.ru, and among this list comes a site with the address: http: //www.kladka-laminata- yours-rucks.rf That is, the domain says directly that it answers your question. What will be your attitude to such a domain? Interested? Will push it away?

And immediately a second example. Suppose you decide to go in for your figure and sport. Sites about losing weight a lot, so you formulated your goal more specifically, say, "exercises for losing weight of the abdomen" or "exercises for losing weight on the sides." Scored in the search engine and in the issuance, in addition, articles on sites, such as, pravilnoe-pokhudenie.ru and fitdoma.ru, comes out of such a resource: http: //www.exercise-for- slimming-giveness.rf long domain name?

Actually, I summarize again. Do you have a favorite spelling of domains on a subconscious level, or, conversely, unacceptable? Are you afraid of long domains, including how you react if the domain name directly promises the answer to your question?
I would be very grateful for your opinions!
