Need advice for new domain

by Rick Diculous
6 replies
I'm looking to buy a domain with 2 main keywords and I have a couple of options and would like to know what you guys think about it

of course, the keywordkeyword.com is not available. But here is what is available.

1: keywordkeyword.net
2: keyword-keyword.com

Is it better to go with the .com one even tho it has an hyphen or not use the hyphen at all and use the .net ?

Thanks

    I would always go with the .com personally, but I dont like the keyword-keyword urls if you got your 2 main keywords you could add a third word there is nothing wrond with 3 word domains.

    I would get them both and direct one to the other. Many will tell you the .com is better but others will tell you to avoid the hyphen. Depending on the keyword I'm not sure it makes much difference. The key to success will be your marketing not just the domain name you choose.

    Personally I would go with the .net one. If you do a simple search on Google you will find many domains with .org and .net outranking the .com ones. again it's more to do with the quality of both content and backlinks.

    1. Go to domaintools.com
    2. Click on 'Suggestions'
    3. Type you your keyword phrase
    4. Click 'Search'

    You'll get 10 results, more if you have a paid account, but it's good for some suggestions you might have not thought off and is available.

    dot com is better, but if it is not available, the next best thing is a dot org, or a dot info, dot net are good too. Avoid using "-" in your domains. hope all works well. of course you need a rich keyword domain name with low competition.
