    I'm looking to register a keyword domain but have a question because I am stuck between two options.

    something-reviews.com
    or
    somethingreviews.net

    (obviously something is replaced my keyword)

    I'm wondering if I should register the dash .com one or the no dash .net one. Which would be better seo-wise? I'm leaning tword the first one, but I would like a second opinion.

    Personally, I'd say .COM with "-" version is better than .NET... so in this case, I'll take something-reviews.com :)

    I suggest go for something-reviews.com because it shows clearly review for specific subject and it also have .com extension which more popular than .net

    Hello,
    For me, it you can brand a domain name dot com is better than .net, but if you have another domain name as main domain, and you will use .net to generate traffic and send the traffic to your main domain, register a .net domain :)

    People remember more dot com than others.

    Best,
    Jakomo

    A hyphen does not always wreck a domain I don't think. I reg U-A-V (dot) com the other day and google shows 678,000 results. (unmanned aerial vehicle)
