    I am promoting a new affiliate program named keyword1keyword2.com

    I bought keyword1-keyword2.com to promote it (no problem with the team of affiliate program)

    I want to launch a Wordpress blog to promote this program too

    I have to chose a domain name. Which one would you use?

    keyword1keyword2.NET or keyword1keyword2.INFO or keyword1-keyword2.COM

    Thanks for your input ;)

    Hyphens are BAD in domain names.

    All professionals would advise NOT to use hyphens in a domain name, so get a domain name without a hyphen.

    The 2 keywords are short so there is no problem

    And if you're marketing a blog through articles directories and specialized websites (and then through google thanks to SEO) people have just to click

    I already bought all 3 but I have to make a choice ;)

    I'n not sure about this ;)

    just have them all link together so that if someone goes to the .info it will go to the .com

    The issue is that I want to use 1 domain name to redirect to my affiliate link and 1 domain name to build a blog on the niche

    Hyphens are find in the domain. Your the .com for your blog since its the easiest to remember and people will able to find your affiliate program from the blog no problem. Then use the info and net for forwarding to whatever you want.

    Don't you think that a keyword1keyword2.info would be good for a blog on the niche marketing through article marketing and through linking on niche websites and directories?
