    i dont think there is a difference either.
    however, i have read SEVERAL times that both of them are better.
    one person will tell you to avoid the -
    and the next person will tell you to jump on it.
    to me this goes with the .com, .net, .org talk.
    only google really knows but most likely the best over all setup will win.

    No difference at all in terms of SEO, the only negative to having a hyphen in the domain is the chance that a user may find your site once, and not remember exactly how to get back, losing you a small fraction of traffic to the domain that doesn't have the hyphen. At least that's the argument many in favor of branding will give you. I personally don't feel it's a big deal or anything to worry about.

    both same, I will use - one as a SEO site and the other one as my main site.

    take both, don't give others a chance

    No difference...
    In content google consider "-" a space...but in domain no difference.


    Thanks

    I don't think it makes a difference. I do think that having the hyphen does make it easier for the user to read on longer domain names.

    It doesn't make a difference. It depends on how much you work on promoting your site.

    They are both treated the same. But I would use keywordkeyword.com. It's shorter, easier for users to remember, easier to type, easier to say, etc. When you tell someone your domain name, would you rather say "keyword keyword dot com" or "keyword hyphen keyword dot com"? Which do YOU think rolls off the tongue better?
