SE result/listing question

[websitedeveloper]

which of the following urls would list the highest in most SEs, everything else being equal, for the search "register domains"?

1. www.registerdomains.com
2. www.register-domains.com
3. www.register.domains.com
4. www.domains.register.com

thanks

2.
The hypen is treated as a space.
Good Luck!

You probably won't get #3 or 4 or any single generic word, so let's skip them. For the first two, most search engines nowadays (like Google) have parsing technology that could tell "registerdomains" is "register domains" and not "regist erdo mains", so it is NOT worth the ugly look to include a hyphen in your domain name.

#1 or #2, depending on the search engine! This is different than browser "type in's", naturally.
Good Luck.

Great, thanks for your help!

What about these, which would list higher, everything else being equal?

1. domainname.com
2. domainname.org
3. domainname.us
4. domainname.it

Thanks.

PS: Just wondering if extension matters...
