Which of these two domains is better?

www.culvercity-real-estate.com
www.culvercity-ca-real-estate.com
www.culver-city-ca-real-estate.com

No need for negative comments on the dashes please.

Thanks,

I think the first one is good. It is not negative comment but atleast the first one has less dashes.

 

I'll go with the first one because it is shorter.

 

This one is better

 

First one is the best. Shorter, simpler, and overall more memorable and brandable.

 

The first one without any shadow of doubt whatsoever.

Forget the others completely.

 

Did you tried to check www.culvercity-realestate.com? If not available you should go with the first one.

 

The first one. It's the best out of the three.

 

ya you dont want a lot of dashes you want to think of the people going to your site will they want to type that many dashes like the other ones?

 

This is my order of preference
(1)www.culvercity-ca-real-estate.com (the ca make it, geo specific!)
(2)www.culvercity-real-estate.com
(3)www.culver-city-ca-real-estate.com

Not a biggie about the dashes..just use keywords as the URL like CulverCity Real Estate etc!

 

I like number 2.

 

I would go with no. 1. You can make your website geo specific easily by adding CA in your website and meta tags.

 

the first one is better, as it has only 2 dashes.

 

The first one is the best of the bunch

 

Don't expect to see "Direct Traffic" on your referrals list with this domains.

 

No...I would not expect anyone to type this in directly, those types of domains are already gone. I am just looking for the best domain for SEO. Also I notice that when you search for say Culver City Real Estate most of the domains that come up are realtor.com types. No local domains. I think the type of domain name that I am suggesting will be good for both SEO and for recognition that it is a local site and not a nationwide site that may or maynot have local listings.

Also, I did have a concern about using the CA portion of the domain since you might get someone looking for a culver city in a different state, but I agree that having the CA part in the meta tags and in the content should keep this from being a problem.

I think first domain (www.culvercity-real-estate.com) is the best.

 

I will go with the first one..

 

first one for sure

 

First one is good, name and purpose is clearly listed.
thx
