SEO Experiment challenge to Bagi

[temi]

You are welcomed to bet now because you will not win either way you bet Bagi and I will just pocket your money

 

[Bisje]

That's not fair... I thought of this first

 

[temi]

it is fair on me, maybe not on you lol

Temi got to get back the money he paid for the domains registrations... :wacko:

 

[temi]

hm, bookie and participant... have to think this over again :sweat:

At least I am honest, I guarantee that you will not see your money again once you give it to me, but with real bookies, they give you false hope that you may win

Talking of domains, here are the domains we will be using:

temibagi.com
temi-bagi.com

Its now hosted yet, I will wait till Bagi is ready before hosting the domains

 

[SkinnerW]

Please describe the whole process in some more details so we can blog about it and give some more juice to the domain we are betting on... :spiteful:

 

[temi]

Will do that tomorrow, at the moment, I can hear my bed calling me :sleeping:

 

[Midlandi]

For the enjoyment of this competition I will offer to host these Free if you want.

Talking of domains, here are the domains we will be using:

temibagi.com
temi-bagi.com

Those two domains still show "available" on godaddy :surrender:

 

[Meti]

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.

Matt Cutts (Google web guy) talked about simular ideas between hyphens and underscores: Dashes vs. underscores

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.

Meti, as far as i experienced the hypened keyword rich domain always gets very nice rankings much easier You will see.

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

 

[SkinnerW]

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.

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

The national lottery website has a hypen and appears number 1 in google

See national lottery - Google Search

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

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
