3 year old get-relief-from-problem domain name good

Vijay M · 08-21-2008, 03:49 PM

I have this get-relief-from-problem domain name. substitute problem with acne/diabetes or whatever.

I have had it for 3 years now, and have only used it for redirecting to an affiliate website.

Now I'm planning on entering this niche with a full content website.

My question is, should I just build the site on this long-tail-keyword with dashes between words which is 3 years old but has no back links, or, should I just buy a new domain?

I'm leaning towards getting a new domain, but would also like to know if the age of the domain plays any role any which way.

Thank You All.

If it had back links yes - but as a lot of folks are telling us that hyphenated URL's are not getting indexed.

Take the hyphenation rumour with a pinch of salt though - it may just be an urban myth?

Thanks for the input, Richard.

The domain has no backlinks to speak of.
