Just curious but since http://www.coolestgadgets.com still links to http://www.coolest-gadgets.com does that just mean you are going to keep both domains or are you just not telling people about the hyphenated version anymore?

Good to see you got hold of it. I assisted with someone getting a domain name recently that they let expire and it wasnt cheap getting it back! Congrats on getting an even cooler domain

Thanks guys, I realised a month into the site that I’d made a mistake with the hyphen but it’s not one I’ll be repeating in a hurry.

We’ll be keeping both domains but due to how Technorati works and our current rankings with Google the new non hyphenated domain will simply redirect to the old one. So in theory the site is still hyphenated but when speaking about the site I will never mention the word hyphen again.

It bugged me at first, but eventually I just programmed myself to put the hyphen, but I agree, it’s rather annoying to have to tell people about the hyphen every single time.

Congrats on getting it!
