SEO Domain name: Can two or more keywords share a letter in a domain and still be relevant to search engines?
My question is – which is better for SEO, e.g. natureequity.com ir naturequity.com ? I noticed that Google finds both keywords in both cases but I am not sure of their value to Google. Would it be worse to share a letter or even a syllable or even better since it has less characters than the first, regular domain name? Thank you!
Actually, from the search engine perspective, the order from best to worst is:
nature-equity.com
nature_equity.com
natureequity.com
naturequity.com
Keep in mind that there is also a user click through perpective–meaning that users are more likely to click on one than another. It so happens that the above order is also best for click throughs too.

One thing that is important is the domain name should be free from typos and for that two consecutive letters should be avoided if these are on the boundaries of two words (as in your case). Next SEO significantly depends upon the contents of a web page rather than its domain name.
So, naturequity.com would be better in your case.
Seconds option can be nature-equity.com
