    Hi all,

    I have an example here and I would like inputs on the better choice from an SEO perspective.

    I'm going to explain an exact replica of my situation in an example.

    Say I have a website which i'm selling a how to guide. For eg, how to skate.

    What would be a better domain for google and seo:

    howtoskake.biz or
    howskate.com


    Thanks

    I would personally avoid any .biz and .info domains. These domains are notorious for their use by spammers.

    I don't particularly like howskate.com, but perhaps there is something similar you could use that makes sense....howtoskatewell, learnhowtoskate, how-to-skate, learntoskate, etc

    I would usually opt for the .com when available.
