Hi, thanks to all for the help I've had so far - I really appreciate it.

I own 2 domains, one with two words added together : www.modustrading.com which I am using and the other with the two words separated by a hyphen modus-trading.com which I have not yet had hosted.

Since learning about the implications of using relevant anchor text, file names and domains for example, it seems the hyphenated version might be the better bet so I am about the "enliven" this domain.

I am confused however as to the merits of creating say a duplicate site for the new domain or perhaps to somehow simply direct all those who find the modustrading site to the modus-trading. site.

Could anyone advise me of the advantages/disadvantages of each method or perhaps recommend the best overall approach.

Thanks.
