    I think if your keywords are 'key' and 'words' then in this case you can choose key-word.com, but if your keywords is 'keyword' then key-word.com is not good you have to choose keywords.com...

    Hyphens are valued less, so go with an "s" or a word at the end of the name.

    In my experience it doesn't matter, if you know what you're doing with on-page and off-page SEO.

    Side note: keywords.com redirects to Microsoft, heh. =)

    I would always go for an 's' with .com as having an hyphen separating my keyword and that too on .net is more disadvantageous in my opinion.

    If left with no other choice for a domain name, I would go with "keywords.com". I have read case studies that found -'s in domain names are much more difficult to rank for.

    Another option would be to find different keywords where you can get an exact .com domain. I find this is where I have the most fun with my sites.

    keyword.com but only if it's not too long.
