Which is better

[rcep]

i recently got a bunch of domains but if u were me which of the next 2 would u keep
about-lebanon.com or aboutlebanon.com
which is more search engine friendly
please comment

I would keep the one without hyphen.
google kind of doesn't take the hyphens much into account, it understands it as a word seperator, but it also would understand those two words without the hyphen.

Maybe in some small non-sophisticated search engines hyphen is needed for it to understand two words, but not in any large SE...

And for typeins and user memorability, less hyphens are better...

if you develop, keep both

will google like it to develop the 2 sites on the same database same content
will google consider it as 2 sites or 1 [btw what CMS that is google friendly do u recommend me to use)

They will see that as duplicate content.

Better to redirect one to the another and just focus development on one.

redirect is the way to go for this

From an SEO point, about-lebanon.com is a bit better. From a resale value, aboutlebanon.com

 

[Charley]

about-lebanon.com or aboutlebanon.com

Keep aboutlebanon.com for development/parking, use the other as a redirect to aboutlebanon.com

 

[skylineleong]

aboutlebanon.com (pick this)

better pick two.....(option)

Keep both, unless you want to sell them. If you are going to sell them. Sell about-lebenon.com to someone, wait till they develop it. When they do sell them aboutlebenon.com.

If you decide you want to develop them. Develop aboutlebenon.com and then redirect about-lebenon.com to aboutlebenon.com.
