Success of the site or the blog in the long run only depends on the content and nothing else. Hi Luna,

A good keyword based domain name will give a good kickstart to your blog/site based on the keyword traffic. Success of the site or the blog in the long run only depends on the content and nothing else.

But I personally think short domains such as 3 letter domains and 4 letter domains (eventually in the future) will have more potential then keyword domains. Thanks for sharing a great information.

Let me know if you manage to find a good domain name using the approach mentioned in the article. Coming to your question..... I personally would not register domains with hyphens not because it makes any difference technically but simply because I don't like hyphens in a domain name. Technically, I don't think it makes any difference because, for example, windows and stuff are two different words anyway so Google will look for two different words instead of one and so windowsstuff.com as it has both the words (Ranking depends on other factors too). Using a hyphen in a two word (or more) domain name wouldn't harm but if you try to split one word (e.g. blogg-ing.com or blog-ging.com) into two then you might not be able to capitalize on the keyword in the domain name because users will not search for "blog ging" or "blogg ing".. even if they do, they will be suggested to correct the query and after correction chances of blogging.com making it to the top of search page are WAY higher then a blog-ging.com Also, a lot also depends on how you are being anchored. Following post by Matt should make a good read about the hyphens and if they make any difference. <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscor...</a> Do let me know if you have more questions :) I am glad, you found the article helpful.

I own 9 domain names, and always have trouble trying to select the best one. This is a good tutorial for that. FYI, what do you feel about hyphenated domain names. For example, if you had registered windows-stuff.com? Do they work better, worse, about the same as non-hyphenated domain names. I read somewhere once that they were better, especially if it had the primary keywords related to the site topic? Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this? Yuwanda Informative article Syed.
