What Domain Is The Most SEO Friendly

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Jake Howard, Jun 12, 2011.

    I have found a domain for a key word which generates around 30,000+ Global Monthly Searches on Google.

    From an SEO perspective only (not worried about branding or people remembering it) which of the following domain name examples would be the best for SEO purposes.


    1. www.key-word.net

    2. www.keyword.net.au

    3. www.key-word.com.au


    Cheers

    I would avoid options 2 and 3 completely. #1 is possible but Google considers hypens as a break meaning you won't get full juice from the keyword. You might be best looking at alternatives and ideally finding yourself an available .com with your keyword in it.

    I prefer to use only .com, .net & .org domains - so, I would go for the .net version you listed above. Also, 1 or 2 hyphens in your domain isn't a problem.
