I’m relatively new to domaining. The first domain I bought (and the domain for my main site) is music-whiz.com. I bought it not realising how hard it would be to tell someone the url when it has a hyphen – wish I had have seen this article before I bought it!

Richard’s last blog post..Could there be some use for a dot TK free domain?

That sounds about right for Overture, when I check 2 years ago it lied by a somewhat large margin.

Hi there,

I just tested out Overture with your keywords “coolest gadgets”, and the results it showed were 5.8 per day. Is it just me?

$1500 for a hyphen less? I’d take the hyphened version, if you ask me.

Btw, what did you do with the non-hyphen version? redirect?

I’d choose a different domain without a hyphen.

So given what you know now, if coolestgadgets was taken, would you go for coolest-gadgets, or just move onto a different name?

I made the same hyphen mistake, your brain farting problem must be catching! Most of what I am going to do with it is online based, but I’m sure there will be word of mouth advertising done too, I hyphen guess hyphen I’ll hyphen have hyphen to hyphen saying hyphen the hyphen word hyphen hyphen.
