What is best for a domain name…

I was wondering what would be best for a domain name. Should I use something like my.site.here.com or my-site-here.com. I have a good idea for a domain name but don’t know which option to choose. Which one do you think is best?

 

im guessing the my.site would be 2 sub-domains or something :S

confused

 

A domain name like Del.icio.us or Del-icio.us?

 

Del.icio.us

 

Dashes are the right way.

 

Dashes are best as supposedly google picks up the indiidual words better if you are keyword targeting the domain name.

For example: top-KEYWORD.com

 

Using your example (and without knowing the exact domain you're after) I'd say, MySiteHere.com would be the best option.

 

yup, don't add anything in between.kinda funny if there's a dash or dot.

 

My dilemma is that with the dash or dots the domain name will make more sense than without. So what should I do? If I buy with dashes what stops someone else from buying with dots and in this way have a similar domain as me? I’m really confused..

 

Thanks for helping everyone I’ve bought the new domain: In-diggnation.com

I think it will come in handy one of these days.

 

Guys just analyse the top 10 domain names for any niche... bet you find very few -'s.

you always get myths like -'s are best goolge reads them better.. well look yourself the top ranknig sites are almost always keywordkeyword.com
Always do your own research..

 

I dont even think you can use dots can you? I can't ever remember seeing it & it seems they are only used for subdomains. But dashes are the way-to-go

 

I have domain gameswith.us
I think it very nice

 

Unfortunately I had to settle for in-diggnation.com because indiggnation was already taken. Anyway I think people will get the pun…

 

LOL I think that is a cool domain

 

Thanks, I also thought it was a cool domain.

 

if you are going after branding and like my.site.com I would go for it, if you are doing seo I think my-site.com would make more sense.

 

Dots are bad...

 

what's wrong with mysitehere.com ? there is no point in having sub-sub-sub domain like my.site.here.com. dashes are good for SEO to an extent but being well expereinced in having both kind of domains(with dash and without dash) I can safely say that go with no dash domains as they make little difference. IMO mysitehere.com is the best one best of luck

 

If you can, its probably best to avoid dashes and dots alltogether.
