What is canadaholiday.co.uk paired with canada-holiday.co.uk worth ,please? Are there people here specialising in tourism?
 
Well, Azooza, I can give you the opportunity of putting your money where your mouthis!! If you like visit-canada.co.uk .......as you say....then I can sell it to you!!

I will thank Accelerator for his reasoned opinion on canadaholiday.co.uk and agree that non-hyphenated domains seem to be worth more than hyphenated ones. I think this stems from the USA, where the internet started and the hyphen not an important part of its grammar .
A rich American might be Tom Smith 3rd [ in Roman numerals]. Whereas, the old upper class English surnames never had Roman numerals.......they were HYPHENATED ....like Tom Ponsonby-Smythe , for example.
So I reckon that the hyphen is more important in English grammar. It is also very important in Wales, France and Spain.

Whilst in Paris, I have often noticed the preponderance of the hyphen in domain names. Since it separates words , it makes them much clearer on posters, hoardings etc, as you drive past at speed. Clarity is highly important!!
I am also told that internet spiders pick up on hyphenated terms easier than a long non-hyphenated link of three words , for example.

To get back to canadaholiday.co.uk and canada-holiday.co.uk......they work well as a PAIR, because cyber-squatters or competitors are prevented from hijacking the term.

You haven't quite picked up on why I posted what I did. You have been making these postings about visit-this and visit-that all over the place. I think it's getting old now.
