Domain name options - which is best?

Hi all,

I'm looking at a few domain names and wondering what is best for SEO for Google. Options:

1) .Com domain name contains the 2 exact keywords in order that I need, followed by a couple of letters. For example it would be like this: RedHouseaa.com (where red house would be the key words I need in the right order. The "aa" would be the initials of the product offered, so they are not random.

2) .Org or .Net domain name with the 2 exact keywords and nothing more: redhouse.org

3) Hyphenated .com domain name with the 2 exact keywords and nothing more: red-house.com

My gut tells me to go for option 1 as it is .com and has the keywords in order.

Any thoughts?

Canuck? WTH, when did Canada get the internet? anyway, your answer depends on what you want to do with the site. Sometimes it's best to use a domain name other than a KID. In most cases I would go with a .com and concern myself more with brand than having a keyword in there. I would not go with sticking letters after my keywords. Hard to remember and type imo

it all comes to your content & quality of your links...one of my low PR .net website with much less links is beating some high PR high links good domain .com links on certain key phrases.

Yes but surely having keywords in your domain name makes SEO all that much easier no?
