Domain Names And Hyphens For Your Scotland Domain Name
The number of domain names left is infinite, however, unless you are really lucky then all the short easy to remember domain names have been taken. Should you use a hyphen in the domain name?
My recommendations are to never use hyphens in a domain name. People can remember domain names when they are relevant. They tend to get confused when you start to put hyphens in often not being able to remember where the actual hyphen goes.
In fact, if you have to use a longer domain name you may find there is good SEO value to that name. If you sell blue widgets here in Scotland, you may find you can register bestbluewidgetsinscotland dot com. I know, it sounds like a mouthful, however I sure people can remember that compared to best-blue-widgets-in-scotland dot com. Easier to read, yes but not friendly to type.
The SEO potential for long domain names like that shown should not be underestimated. Keyword groups such as ‘best blue widget’, ‘blue widgets’, ‘blue widgets in Scotland’ and ‘best blue widgets in Scotland’ would all receive a push whenever you mention your domain name.
When considering a domain name, think of the keyword value and forget the hyphen options – think of a domain name that people can remember with ease, that you can market, and is easy for your visitors to type.
