Are key words in domain name picked up by google?

Hello all.

I saw this type of question here somewhere but I can't find it again.

I have some domains with 3 keywords separated by hyphens. Does google pick these up? Are they good names for search engines? One example is Russian-dating-site.net

Also, I have another domain called Russiandatingsite.info which would be better placed? Does google see the ""russiandatingsite" as 1 word or can it spot the clue??

Thanks

 

google does consider the keywords in the domain...

Normally .net will be well ranked in search results than .info domains...

 

That is worthless unless someone do the search using inurl operator

 

Sometimes spam blogs also have long urls with hyphens. So beware. And there is no proof that .info will rank less than .net, they say.

I think it's very good to rank it, you know people search something through the search engine by the keywords.
