    Always the EMD man. Go with the .org!

      Certainly correct on this one. All the micro niche sites I sell are EMDs, and if there is no EMD available, then we skip the keyword. Certainly .org EMD!

    If I had to choose I would choose dot com first over org. The keyword appears in both domain names. Besides having a hyphen or not does not really matter to google.

    What matters is the content of the site and how relevant it is to what you're tarketing. Furthermore, you would also need to optimize the site with backlinks from higher weighted websites.

    If you have and extra $10 bucks to spare then buy both and duplicate the content and see which site performs best.

    The way I understand it, the dash isn't recognized by Google, so .com, would be better.

    However, if you do your on page an off page SEO correctly .org would hang right in there with the .com,

  • I would definitely go with .com. But ultimately if you know what you're doing with SEO, you can rank extremely high for any domain with any extension.

    .ORG without the hyphen for sure!

    You'll have an easier time ranking it for sure.

    Actually .com without the hyphen is the best but it appears you made your choice... though any .org or .net extensions are ok but .com IS the best.

    you made your choice..I will go for .com no matter with - or without -. Because .com have much power in experience as compared to .org or any other..

    .org will be a smoother choice, but everyone knows .com is the best.

    For you it's just the matter of what will be easier to rank, maybe it wont make a difference at all and you'll end up having success with ranking .com better or the other way.

    No matter its a .com, .net, org, with dashes or anything because ANY One will work as for as you have your targeted keyword in it.
