Hi,

Which of the two is better?

MORTGAGENC.US
MORTGAGE-NC.US

It's meant to be Mortgage North Carolina US :-)

Thanks in advance.

Just get them both? and point MORTGAGE-NC.US to MORTGAGENC.US or vise-versa.

I would choose without the hyphen, also if you are simply looking for indexing I would go with ncmortgage.info , its available.

MORTGAGE-NC.US will lose traffic to MORTGAGENC.US

Yes, that's what I was thinking, but I was asking to find out which one I should put more effort :-)

Wouldn't mortgagenc will rank better than ncmortgage?
Keyword weigh more if it comes before state, no?

MORTGAGE-NC.US will lose traffic to MORTGAGENC.US
Why is this?
You mean from natural type-in?
I doubt it will get type-in with .us extension. At least, not yet I don't think :-)

BTW, how much do "mortgage" keyword pay these days?

Thanks again :-D

use the one without the dash for print advertising

use the one with the dash for search engine marketing, search engines don't mind the dash and it helps separate the keywords

have both point to the same site, I think both are important for the reasons above

No I don't think it will rank better , people will search on "nc mortgage" more than the reverse , do a google search on the term and look at the URL's that come up.

MORTGAGE-NC might lose traffic as said but it could also pick up
traffic as it's a hyphen that brings the word Mortgage out and isn't
just a group of letters like the other that spell nothing .

Some domain names catch the eye quicker because of the seperation
of the words..

ok people,

Now I got all 50 states + DC with .us and .info
For example, I got...
mortgage-nc.us
mortgagenc.us
mortgage-nc.info
mortgagenc.info

I couldn't decide which set to register, so I got them all :-)
If I want to keep just one set, which set should I develop?
What would value be if I decide the sell the set?

And any development idea would be appreciated :-)

That would really serve no real purpose if you are not promoting MORTGAGE-NC.US

I would just get the non hyphenated version.

In response to the question that you posed –

MortgageNC.US is better.

And SW stated the best overall solution!

Reg both of them and place a URL forward on the hyphenated domain to the non-hyphenated counterpart.

Best of luck to you!

That's too late.
I already got both.
Thanks :)

MortgageNorthCarolina.us/NorthCarolinaMortgage.us are probably the best choices.. a popular trend really.
MortgageNC.us also, and with the hyphen. I'd point to the 2nd 3 word without a doubt.

Good luck.
