To a certain extent or limit, it's not up to the user to provide a secure password, it's up to the developers to ensure passwords are stored securely. Reversing the name of the service and prefixing it to the password doesn't provide much additional security, nor does appending a number, especially if the host has not encrypted it appropriately. You would be much more suited to using a password manager that just generates secure passwords for each service (something like lastpass) – instead of relying on some obscure pattern in your head, because patterns instead of true randomness is sometimes the cause of lapsed security.
