Which of these domains would be best for SEO?

    Creating a new site soon and was wondering about SEO and the domain name I choose. In the past I just made the domain name relevant to my site but this time I want to put a little more thought into it, SEO wise. I have narrowed myself down to 3 domains and was wondering which will help my site rank higher easier. All three have similar keywords but are a little different. beginawebsite.com, beginningawesbsite.com, startingupawebsite.com. Normally I like to keep my domains as short as possible, but even though these domains are multiple words, I think its ok . Which has the best keywords to help get my site the highest possible in google's rankings and why?? Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

    (Also this post may have been better off posted in the keywords section, new to this site and did not see that at first so sorry about that.)

    all 3 choices are relatively similar.
    "website" obviously is a keyword you can't change

    start / set up / startup are all good choices to replace begin, not really a fan of the "begin"
    however all .coms of them with website (including with hyphen) are all taken

    how about adding a "new" infront?

    What do you think about startingup instead of startup??
    Because I actually own startingupawebsite.com

    Well if you already own it, you might as well just use it, else it is $10 wasted. (saw that you reg it 5th April)

    I'm not really too worried about the $10, I had bought the domain this morning and just wanted to get some other peoples opinions.

    i'd recommend doing keyword research on the domains keywords. like "starting up a website" "beginning a website". see what has the most traffic, compare competition with the keywords. best of luck.
