Domain and "Google Love"

I am stuck on which of these two is the best route. In your opinion which of these 2 would google favor more for the keyword "How to build a shed". And preferably "why"

Code:

[/URL][URL="http://www.e-howtobuildashed.com/"]www.e-howtobuildashed.com[/URL][URL="http://www.e-howtobuildashed.com"]

or

Code:

[/URL][URL="http://www.howto-buildashed.com/"]www.howto-buildashed.com[/URL][URL="http://www.howto-buildashed.com"]

thanks

anyone?

I would never a put an e- in any domain ever. But that's just personal preference.

I would never a put a hypen either. Just me again.

Can't you keep drilling for KW or make it howtobuildashed(central or something like that)?

Good Luck

there are 2 factors you should consider here:

1. the percent of your domain that is your keyword. - It is always preferable to add as few characters to the keywords as possible. first option is 88%, second option is 93% (the dash counts as a character that is not in your kw) add 'central' and you are down to 68%

2. Add the junk at the end - most important stuff goes first. Again option #2 is the winner here.

If my only choice were these 2 options, I would pick #2. but I would probably keep looking...

Exact kw with .net or .org available ?
How about 'tobuildashed' without the 'how' ?
