    Can someone with experience tell me what is the best for domain name :


    keyword1-keyword2.com
    keyword1keyword2.com


    - people
    - seo

    i dont know about the - (i dont know how do u call it in english ) , but if most people come from search engines or referal it shouldnt be a problem .

    as for Seo i dont know what do they think about it ...

    What is your opinion about this ?

    Thank's a lot .

    keyword1keyword2.com for both seo and people. Register both though to stop anyone else registering it.

    Search engines recognise words so they don't need a - to show that its two words.

    This is a - hyphen - .

    The conventional wisdom is that they are bad for people - folks leave them out and end up elsewhere.
    I have heard they are slightly favored in search engines - it is more certain where the word ends.

    But remember - other domains than .com are almost equal to .com in search engine's eyes - yet everyone piles into .com - and likely will continue to - for a long time.

    So if what other people think matters - minus the hyphen.
