What is the better domain for SEO?

[swiftmoney]

Hyphens suck major ass and just have a look of last resort.
Go without every time.

 

[skohh]

not sure if we've been clear enough here for the OP ...

Let me clarify, the first choice is your best bet.

 

[swiftmoney]

Slight overkill

 

[paperboy]

damn yeah it's not been clear enough :0 a two year old thread been wakened in the ashes just for the sake of bulking up the post count

But nevertheless I go with skohh's choice > clarify

 

[wikikreative]

Hi

Need some advice, i am going to register a domain for a blog that Im gonna set up but need some quick advice on what would be better for google seo purposes.

I have the option to register the domain as

(example)
www.wholesalehanbagsbyfreddy.com

or

www.wholesale-handbags-by-freddy.com

which one would you say google would like more and associate more to the keywords?

Thanks:thumbsup:

1st will be good for both SEO and verbal recommendation.

It depends which one resembles more to your keyword.
In terms of SEO, both have benefits, but the second one is more easy to read by people.
I suggest you find a more short name for your website if you can. I always recommend my affiliates to use short and easy to read and remember domain names.

The first one without any dashes is definitely the better choice.

I know the answer. Test it yourself instead of asking people who have never tested this themself.

First one is good, It will chance for rank using any keyword.

 

[Oldie]

First one is always better because its easy for people to remember, although its too long. As far as Google is concerned second one should be better from SEO perspective.

If you are serious about it. Take them all.

General rule.
keyword domain for main site.
Aged domain + lots of backlinks site to redirect traffic to mainsite for seo.

The first one is the best for your SEO

 

[bracknelson]

A domain name should be catchy and easy to read, Google also considers short domains as the best and help them to bring more traffic to their website, in my view second will fulfill all the need of SEO according to me.

From the SEO perspective and algorithms, it doesn't really matter which domain name you will choose, as it won't have significant impact on your ranking, but from user experience perspective, I would say that you go with the first one as it looks more clear and it will be easier for sharing.

 

[Qually#]

both not so much.
Maybe we should think of something shorter.

 

[leos$$]

When it comes to SEO, a good domain should ideally be short, memorable, and relevant to your niche. Domains that include targeted keywords can provide a slight advantage, especially for local SEO. Additionally, using a .com extension is generally preferred, as it's widely recognized and trusted. A unique brand name can also help with recognition and recall. Lastly, ensure the domain is easy to spell and pronounce, as this can impact user engagement and referral traffic.

Hello. What domain do you use? Can you share your experience?
