Which domain will be more SEO friendly:

A 2 word .org domain - with OR without a hypen - or a 2 word .info domain of the same structure?

Thank you

There's no difference between extensions in SE ranking.
But I heard hyphen does well in SEO.
But when it comes to pure domain business, hypen kills the value.
So if you want to develop a site there's nothing wrong to use a hyphen. But if you are a domainer, better avoid using that.
Hope that helps.

Try and convey something about you and your site to your target users.

.org for clubs and non profits - I know you can use a .org for any site now but conventions linger.

.info can often be much more easily branded to convey your message.

Personally I've never had SEO problems with an hyphen however if you go to the search forum you'll find a lot of differing opinions after the Big Daddy update.

I have 100+ domains and never use a .org, I suppose I'm old school and consider that .org ought to have been kept for its original purpose.

For SEO purposes there is no difference between .org and .info however I understand that .info seems to have more cachet in Europe for a business site than the USA.

How true this is I have no idea!
