Keywords in domain

Use a hyphen or not

[chairwars]

If I was to have my two keywords in my domain, would I be better having keywordkeyword dot com or keyword-keyword dot com.

Or does it not make any difference?
Will it affect search engines etc.?

This is discussed all over WebmasterWorld.

For my money and given the choice I buy both, then I put a hypen in for SEO stuff and use a non hyphen for offline marketing, so I can track the difference.

Thanks for the reply. I've just noticed that keywordkeyword dot com isn't available but keywordkeyword dot net is. So now am I better going with keywordkeyword dot net and keyword-keyword dot com

or

keywordkeyword dot net and keyword-keyword dot net?

Hope that makes sense.

Forget the hyphen, go for the first. Or even a generic domain.

Have you ever tried explaining the hypen over the phone?

Look at some success stories...

The question was:

Does it not make any difference?
Will it affect search engines etc.?

and I think the answer to that specific question is that it does make a difference.
