    Need Advice: .com vs .org and Ovt data

    Hello fellow DnForumers

    Your help/advice is needed re: a dilemma I am having. I have recently aquired two domain names. They both relate to the same concept and they are both comprised by extemely popular keywords. I only have time to develop one of them. My goal is to submit to SE and build traffic. Based on the data below, which one of the two would you develop? (assume everything else such as pre-existing traffic & meta-keywords constant).


    Code:
                   two word .org name    three word .com name
                  --------------------  ----------------------
    ovt month.w/out
    xtension           7549                       559
    (all words)
    
    highest bid-ovt    $.38                      $.18
    (phrase)
    
    google exact
    phrase            157,900                   35,700
    
    hyphen in name      no                      yes (2)
    Thanks!

    Re: Need Advice: .com vs .org and Ovt data

    By the numbers alone (and the fact that there is no hyphen) I would say the .org.

    One non-objective factor is the suitability of the keyword to the .org extension. Even if .org long lost it's real-world status as a non-profit organisation ... it still retains some of that feel with many end users.

    We've done well (both in terms of SEO, and customer conversion) using .orgs - but it was with pretty suitable keywords and terms.

    Cheers,
