Hi,

Which is the best URL for ranking:

co.uk keyword domain with hyphens
org.uk keyword domain without hyphens

Thank you.

[MollyHunter]

both about the same, .co.uk without hyphens would be the best IMO but you haven't given that as an option

[confuscius]

You can rank anything with enough backlinks. Exact match or close to it only gets you so far.

The co.uk without hyphens is already registered.

If you had to learn ever so slightly to one of them, which would you go for? :-)

For some reason when I look at sites I avoid the .org.uk as I think they are to do with charitable organisations.

Most people know that the .co.uk is for the UK so I would go for that.

I differ with Molly in that I like the hyphons as it makes the domain name easier to read especially if it includes keywords rather than the jumble with none.

As far as ranking, I don't think you'll see a difference.... just choose which one you like and work it from there

[Johnny_English]

i think you must to choose co.uk due to psychology of internet users. with or without hyphens - it doesn't matter

[warren_p]

Most of my sites are org.uk and I have no problems ranking or people clicking on them, I have only ever had one hyphened co.uk and it didn't do well, however this was when I first started AM.

Depends what the domain is, if it contains exact phrase you want to rank for then without hyphens org.uk will rank much better for that phrase

[marisa]

It should be the same. Ranking depends on how you promote your website.

[melovemoney]

I think they are both about the same although I don't personally have experience with them. I am just going off logical thinking and comparison of .com to .org which are relatively similar.

[nancy01]

Its depends on you that whatever choose for your domain name , but the thing is that .org site for organizational purposes and it takes a lot of time for promotions.

[AnnaHussie]

Hyphen are good now a days.because at least you can have the domain on your keywords , otherwise most of the high quality traffic keywords have been used.

[Lisa_H]

Out of the two listed, I would take the .co.uk with the hyphen.

[LorenTaylor]

are you trying to say .co.uk is even better than .com?????? i dont think so.
