Thanks for your input as well. Oops, I didn't realize that about typing in the full names! Thanks for the tip.

Well, all of the names I did post are available in both hyphenated and nonhyphenated forms. As I brainstormed names, I checked the names and only chose those that had both forms available.

At this point I am thinking of going with your-camping-guidebook. My only concern is that my site concept keyword is camping tips, and that specific phrase is not in my domain name. I don't expect to win the huge keyword of camping, which has a supply of over 1.2 mil! But I also feel in the overall scheme of things, camping tips is really not that much different than camping, and most camping sites are basically full of camping tips! Without having the word tips in the name, do you still get the idea that this is a site that will help guide you through all the details of camping? Site choice, tent choice, other equipment choice, kitchens, recipes, etc.?

I am torn over the hyphenated v. nonhyphenated, although I will register both domain name versions. Everything I have read, everywhere except for SBI, says go nonhypenated, but of course SBI says go hyphenated for easy reading. I don't know still at this point, although I guess overall it doesn't matter if I am going to redirect one to the other anyway.

Thanks again everybody for your input and thoughts. This newbie appreciates it very much!!!!!
