    Two or more word domains: With or without a dash "-"?

    Which option do you prefer, when registering a doman containing two or more words? Do you go for both variants?
    What are the advantages/disadvantes or both variants?

    thisismydomain.123 or this-is-my-domain.123 ?
    I know, my english is bad. But your german might be even worse

    If you can get the one without hyphen, get it.

      Doesn't matter for seo. The one without dashes will get more typins tho. I use both cause I don't be giving no fucks.

        I prefer to get names without a dash. I think it just easier for people to type in.

          Without the dash is more valuable.

            dashes are for low priority sites, poor people, or weak sauces.

            If you can't get a good domain name without a dash for a website you really care about, think about another one or just forget it. A dash might be useful to secure your own domain names though.

            A memorable domain is my top priority for traffic retention, word-of-mouth traffic and SEO traffic. Memorability and out-of-the-web traffic is often forgotten, but it's a big part of the picture.


            Which one would you click first and remember the most:
            - tugjobs.com
            - tug-jobs.com (*) Do note that tugjobs.com secured that domain name, which is a good move
            - tugjobvideos.com

            (*) I didn't plug my own domains, they're examples.
