SEO question... URL descriptive text

[William M]

For SEO consideration only, which is 'better', .....why?

Assuming you want to get high on the results page when someone searches for chocolate candy....

chocolate-candy-store.net - or - chocolatecandymaker.com

Any opinions?

[kastnerd]

i think with out the dash. that way when your telling someone verbally you can say "all one word"
But as far as SEO it makes no difference.

chocolatecandymaker.com will be better as it is a top level domain but having the keyword in your domain name is not the most important factor for high rankings, it will only help slightly.
