    whats the best type of domain to produce more traffic ive herd the dash really gets more attention vs ones that dont.... this is another domain thread.... im looking for a seo to help do me a real favor and pin point the best domain out of this bunch here listed.... if you have a really good method of targeting a domain from this list and you used a very popular keyword tool im asking for seo help on the smallest level of Appreciation on DP's forum.....

    I know most of us are nearly experts... but in general the analization tools I use are free ones...... so to be honest can someone use their paid tools and shoot over the best of the best domain targeted for home repair services in Oahu Hawaii the shorter the better or more keywrods better :)

    ... ive been quoted the Oahu-Handyman.com was a top selection for targeting the city and my trade all in short domain... but if im missing a phrase other than home or repair can you be firm..........:).

    Oahu-Handyman.com
    OahuHandymanServices.com
    Oahu-HandymanyRepair.com
    OahuHomeRepair.com
    Oauh-Home-Repair.com
    OahuHomeHandyman.com

    Do some searches. How may hyphenated domains do you see?

    That should be your guide...

    My opinion is to stick with no hyphens, looks cleaner and more professional. If you can't come up with a domain without using a hyphen I would use a two work, one hyphen combo.

    OahuHomeRepair.com is cleaner and easy to remember. Stary away from hyphens.

    I like the 4th one. It is easy to remember and to tell. How you plan to tell your URL through phone if it is Oahu-Home-Handyman.com :D

    even if im targeting handyman ??? hmmmmm I stumbled over that domain time and time again... but experts keep saying Oahu-Handyman.com will bring far more targeted traffic and the serps to... the anchor is built in the domain with the hyphen between Oahu-Handyman.com..... that whats brought me to the highest search terms used to filter in this seo domain theory... domainers know the power... I hade India seo people tell me that OahuHome.net was best...

    after consulting with them they backed down from their seo theory... saying that Oahu-Handyman.com was the top searched in any engine ........ brings us closer to the main attraction who is offering the use of a paid keyword tool to say that Oahu-Handyman.com can be even better.... please your tools in the is seo domain post
