I don't really think there's any different, but it all depends on the content, links and I agree with the statements OWG mentioned in the previous page.

Yet, it doesn't prove which one of them tends to rank higher. I believe they're both in the same league, and should rank the same.

Inquiring minds want to know the answer. I certainly would.

Any updates on the status of this experiment yet?

Temi, I know you posted domain names that you registered somewhere in the forum but I can not find it for the life of me...

Could you post names that you actually registered one more time?

Thanks.

Default Experiment
I think it is great that you are doing actual experiments rather than just relying on opinion. I think GKD said there may be an issue with whichever one got registered first - I know it adds to the work but could you not do two more as well (repeat experiment) where the hyphenated one gets registered first (or vice-versa)?

Repeat experiments (or multiple experiments) are always stronger.

You could use bagi-temi (so just reversing the order of the names, I can't remember which way round you said now?)

As I had been told not to have hyphens or anything in domain names, I will be really interested in this!

Thanks,
Stephanie

May be it's because they own both domains and one is redirected to another???

This is not a good example...

MAYBE it is because all your internal links are to a hyphenated URL x 10 LOL :tongue:

Oh and the national Lottery mysteriously appears at #1 because people link to it with two words, national, & Lottery
