You bring up a good point, and I've been pondering about this for a while now - do you think I should remove all the hyphens from the domains before querying them? Like, instead of "extra-small.com", should I be querying "extrasmall.com" instead?
- hirundo 6y agoWith or without the hyphen, it's two words. But for the purposes of the value of the site, rather than pedantry, it probably doesn't much matter.
- nailer 6y agoAre you the author? If you're new to marketing: domains with a dash in them are considered seconds rate to domains that don't have a dash.
- steventey 6y agoYes I am! And I totally get it - I'm pretty much a branding geek myself. I've been debating whether to remove the dashes even when I first started building the site, and this just gives me more reason to remove them from the word list. Stay tuned for the next update! ;)
- bhartzer 6y agoYeah I wouldn’t ever use a hyphenated domain for your primary site. Ok to register it and 301 redirect it to your site, but if you use it for your primary site you will lose traffic to the non hyphenated version.
- steventey 6y agoGotcha! That's it then - the hyphenated sites are out! :D
- jasonid 6y agoUnless it's a term like hip-hop. Then I think the hyphen is appropriate and even sought after.
