Need advice on domains for niche marketing

    I've decided on building a site, or a series of sites oriented to a certain niche, but I have doubts on choosing the right domains.

    Let's say the main keyword is "surveys" (just an example, the niche is health realted and in spanish) and the niche is "paid surveys"

    so I have the following options:

    paid-surveys.info (with -, without - is already taken)

    xxxxxsurveys.com or .info (amazingsurveys.com for example)

    xxxx.info (short unrelated domain so I can develop paidsurveys.xxxx.info and many other subdomains)

    And the last option is

    surveys.cc

    Any experiences with .cc TLDs? I can get the main keyword in .cc but I don't know if it's worth it.

    Thanks.

    I would choose a .com without the - for sure. You will lose a lost of prospects trying to find you the second time. There is a good chance they forget the exact URL and land on the website of your competitor(s)

    Thanks Bebani, but if the .com isn't available for your keywords, you would choose

    a) another .com with - or numbers
    b) .info without -
    c) another short domain and optimize file names.
