i m relatively new to the affiliate worl so please dont mind if the q. asked by me r a bit kidish .

the 1st thing i wanna know is that whats diff bet. a .com & a . biz , . org or any other .xyz domain? does it really affect the search engine ranking if i have a . biz domain& nt a . com domain name ?

the 2nd q . is that should i use "-"s in the domain name of my site?
if my site domain name has more than 1 key word will the search engines prefer the 1 that has "-"bet the key words or 1 without "-"s?

Well, the search engines do not care if you have .com, .biz or co.uk

But if you planning on dealing with offline customers, then you probably want a nice catchy .com domain, then maybe .biz or .org or .us

And the hyphens will help the search engines pick those keywords out of your domain name. Here is an example:

www.the-search-engine-can-read-these-separate-words.com

www.thesearchenginehasnocluewhatthissays.com

Also, can you please use regular english spellings of words? Your shorthand is very hard to follow...

Vaibhav,
Please listen to ALL the advice. Even if English is not your first language, you will need good English expression to complete an effective web site. It is a courtesy to use it here, too. That is expected - and it may be you need the practice.
