    Question SEO and domain names

    Some thoughts about domain names. They should be short and not contain any characters besides ordinary letters, right? For my own domain amdforum.se, that one must be a better choice than amd-forum.se?

    Hello Daniel,

    AMDforum.se is better than AMD-forum.se
    I would say, The better domain name is the one that Google can read it as your forum keywords, For example your forum is about AMD, So your title is AMD Forum and your domain is amdforum and I just checked it now and I found that Google read it, If Google read your domain name correctly it will help you to get in better results and your site be in the top 10 results and your current domain is Good and readable from Google.

    Why amdforum.se not amd-forum.se ?
    Well, I would say Google will read any of them so I would recommended amdforum.se because it's easy to remember, If I want to go to vbseo company site, The first domain I'll try vbseo.com not vb-seo.com ....etc so without characters is better than with characters if the domain without characters is readable and have the forum main keyword.

    The other thing to consider is speaking the name. "site dash name dot com" just doesn't sound good and takes away branding. "site name dot come" is much easier to say.
