    Hi,

    I have looked at a domain the problem is .com is parked and .net and others are empty. If example i register keyword-domain-name.com do you think it is a good? or better to register a .net domain name without dashes? What is good for SEO?

    I'm not sure it matters that much, but perhaps with - is better for seo? (i think)

    IMO your should avoid domains with dashes, mainly with two dashes (as your example) because it's not too easy to remember, and you will be sending visitors to keywordDomainName.com. And for SEO purposes domains with no dashes are ok.

    This is perfectly true. It makes really no difference to the search engines, as long as the keywords are inside the domain name.

    There is no difference for SEO, whether there is a dash, “-“ in the domain name or not. As well as the domain zone, for Google there is no difference in what zone a com, net or info domain is located.

    Yes, is think it is true. Cause tried to search on google with a keyword with dash. And it give result of parked domain that is not including dash.
