Domain Names with Dashes

Hello,

Which domain is better for SEO Purposes... A domain name with dashes or a domain name without dashes....???

Let's say the keyword is make money from home

And suppose the domain names

make-money-from-home.com and

makemoneyfromhome.com and

makemoney-fromhome.com is available... then which one should I choose???

 

Dash are consider as a space in search engines eyes, they can decipher words all together as well. From an SEO stand point imho they are both equal. I truly believe to many dashs would raise a flag.

 

I do not think that there is any difference in SEO value of using dashes or not using them. However, my personal preferance is to avoid them

 

So I choose a domain like makemoneyfromhome.com then Searrch Engines see that as make money from home itself right???

 

Correct, they will be able to see it. But I doubt that domain name is not registered

 

Yes, just try a search like make money from home you will see url listed like:

moneymakingmommy.com

pcmoneymaker.net

The SEs can actually differentiate between the words in these 'no dash' domain names and pick out the searched keywords

 

Yup... that domain is taken... and if you run it thru a domain lookup... you can see the way SE's may see it:

REF: this is shown right below the top leaderboard ad at this page:
whois.domaintools.com/makemoneyfromhome.com

 

Hey am not looking for

make-money-from-home.com and

makemoneyfromhome.com and

makemoney-fromhome.com

I just used that as an example... Well, I just registered the non hyphened version of the keyword which am targetting... I plan to register the hyphened version too and then will redirect that to the non hyphened domain name...

 

Those domains were only used as examples. No one intended to say that you wanted them.

 

I understood... and was using it the same way everyone else was... as an example. But anyway... good choice... get both versions

 

Yes, I will.. And Will I get any benefit if I forward the domain with hyphens to the main domain? Which redirect should I use? 301 or PHP redirect? I understand that 301 redirects permanantly... and Search engine wont index the site... but if we redirect using PHP redirect then search engine index the site.....

 

Hello,,

I just noticed something....

Google Search make free money online

You can see http://www.make-free-money-online.info/ in Top 10 and that domain have a PR of 2 and have inlinks of 2000+ according to Yahoo!

Whats you view on this case???

 

i think makemoneyfromhome.com is better because people will not remember the domains with - .

if you are asking it about seo, all of your examples are the same
