    Non-hyphenated .net or Hyphenated .com

    I know, the age old question.

    Which would you go for?

    I've always thought the the one key phrase (if short enough) was fine. But hyphens work too.

    But now days, really, it's all about the promotion and popularity. Unless you buy a popular single word domain name.

        If it's just one hyphen
        Hyphen-ated.com then I would consider it but I peronally think that

        Hyphenated.net is better

        Imo there isn't much SEO difference (if any) between .net and .com

                sometimes even that - but mostly because it makes the url better recognizable

                a german prefers bust-my-nut.com over bustmynut.com

                  two word domain with one hyphen for the .com.

                  Actually not worried about the SEO aspect, I'm going for "branding".

                  For this particular niche one of my biggest competitors is using a three word hyphenated .com (although they now own the non-hyphenated .com which redirects to the hyphenated URL)

                  the non hyphenated .com I want is being sold for $2k, I was thinking of going the hyphenated route then buying the non-hyphenated version down the road and redirect it just as my competitor did.

                  Another option I'm considering is a three word non-hyphenated, although not super keen on it.

                    Seriously if you have to ask get out of the business. Nobody takes any hyphen-anything seriously. Buy the name and stop half-assing things

                      I normally wouldn't consider it, although like I said the #1 competitor in this niche has a three word two hyphen .com as their primary URL.

                      After some deliberation I'm actually now leaning towards the three word non-hyphenated version. It actually may work better with the marketing strategy I had in mind.

                        Build your own brand instead with a solid .com, no hyphen.
