Which is better for SEO

**bltemplates12** · 06-07-2010 05:55 AM

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!

weight-lost is the only one for sale. The other one seems to be on hold for someone by sedo, you can try to contact them about it (they sell domains and hold them) but i don't know what you will get. If you get it weightlost.com not weight-lost.com would be better. but if you cant go with weight-lost

Aw i can't edit this now. Sorry, regardless no matter what one you choose i think they would be both the same for SEO, as of its not the name of the website but the content and the metatags

for yhe SEO its better the domain looks natural, i mean, not modified by - or _ you know. If you see the top rankings for an specific program, you will come up with this idea.

weightlost or weight-lost

No spaces probably, I am not sure if it matters. However, most domains do not use under scores, so I am pretty sure that if geared towards one it would be the one with no spaces.

I don't think it would make that much of a difference. It's mainly the content that matters, meta-tags aren't that relevant any more (but not completely useless :-).
