Domain name – With dash or not?

Posted by admin On December - 29 - 2007

Often when we create a new site , mini-site or blog we want to get a name for it. And the best name to choose is a name that will have the keywords in it. Why? Because this will help with your SEO and search engine rankings. But how will you use the domain (or sub domain)? Will you use a alltogetherdomain.com or a all-together-domain.com?

Search engines can have trouble reading the domain keywords, however, Google says that it can split your words very well, but we can’t be so sure. So a little trick that i read about is to use google to find if your domain name will need to use dashes or not.

Enter google.com and write your keywords (in this case alltogetherdomain).

If you get a “Did you mean?” hint after the search, with your words split up, then you are safe to use it without the dashes. If nothing is said, then, you will have to use dashes.
