hi,
unusual question :)
when it comes to long name for a web what do you think is better or what do you prefer ?
have this to one
http://www.seberevoltabrno.cz/
http://www.sebe-revolta-brno.cz/
I am used to 1st version but never had such long one and with DASHES it is more readable
For ease of readability and assuming that you are going for a branding then then the dashes make more sense.
What I would say is..why not buy both? It’s not as though uncommon domain names are expensive.
It’s not a life-changing thing or super important, but think of mobile users and their small keyboards. Adding dashes creates unnecessary complications for them. No dashes is easier for the user overall, but I do agree that dashes make things more readable.
@Senff I see where you are coming from but in my experience mobile users don’t find sites by typing…they do it by searching or clicking existing links / bookmarks.
My basic points is that for (in the absence of a better word) marketing / SEO purposes, the dashed version is much better.
or have long version for DESKTOPS (keyboards)
and short version working as “alias” redirecting to original web for those mobile users :)
for instance : http://www.sereb.cz/ goes to => http://www.sebe-revolta-brno.cz/
@krysak4ever I don’t think you can serve different addresses on a viewport size basis.
I would pick the one you want as your ‘primary’ address and have the others re-direct there.
as you say:
**”I would pick the one you want as your ‘primary’ address and have the others re-direct there”**
is what I meant :)
Both. Some people prefer short url, some people prefer clear url.
