What's more importsnt: region or keyword?

domain name regiastration - issue is the regional extension more important?

[Pierre2003]

Hi All,

I have a problem-

I must change my .co.uk domain and choose between widgets-uk.com OR widget2.co.uk (widget2 being a second keyword, much less important).

The dilema is my market is UK and widget is my best converting keyword.

How important is the regional extension? Do you believe I can get my traffic from UK with a .com site for a highly competitive term? or perhaps i should leave the keyword (widget) out of the domain? remember that widget is A. important B. converting C. well known brand

Thanks!

Sure you can get traffic for a .com in the UK, but be sure - whichever option you go for - that your host is UK based and using a UK assigned IP, not just reselling US ones.
