    I am registering a domain for a new site. For example, my target keyword is weight lost. WeightLost.com or Weight-Lost.com, which is better for SEO? Or they are just the same for SEO.

    Thank you!

    I'd go for the first one purely because it is better for site visitors when it comes to remembering your domain. For SEO purposes, it doesn't make much difference to be honest.

    The first one is good both for your visitors and Google as this is really great to remember and it will be eye catchy to Google as well

    First one is much better.
    Because even if you spend a lot of money advertising and people jump on your computer and say your website is weight-loss.com. A large percentage will put in weightloss.com and this will bring traffic to the other site.
    Go for the first one.

    Just check your spelling before you buy it, do you really want "weightlost" and not "weightloss" thats where all the searches are (although all the best url's are long gone anyway)

    I would suggest avoid hyphens in domain it is just my opinion because I never had good experience with hyphenated domains.

    In terms of SEO they are the same but this is purely academic considering they are both already registered!

    Both are good for seo strategy. I have seen many sites using hyphen, They are in the first place. So no matter its having or not having hyphens. Depending upon your work, You will get good traffic.
