I own two domain names that relate to the same industry:

1) www.keyword1-keyword2.com

2) Memorable Domain Name .com

The first consists of keywords that are very frequently searched as a pair in Google (e.g. "buying widgets"); the second one is catchy and relevant but would never be typed in as a search term.

My question is: which domain should I use for the development of a website?

Should I use both and if so, what strategy should I adopt?

The memorable domain is beautiful and the website I am developing is close to my heart, and yet at the same time I do not want to miss out on the traffic that can potentially be generated by the presence of the powerful keyword pair in the other domain. How can I synergize between them?

If it is of any help, I foresee search engine-generated traffic being dominant in the first year, with loyalty and brand recognition taking over in the future (no direct type-ins expected for either domain). I am in the pre-launch stage and have prepared some high-quality, search engine-optimised content.

I look forward to your suggestions.
