red chairs or chairs red will return the same results in Google. Surely you tried that already!
But redchairs or redchairs.com will get more type-in traffic than chairsred. Nevertheless, the type-in traffic will be marginal at best.
If you build a site and optimize it properly then you can get decent traffic and easily out-rank a poorly optimized site that owns the redchairs.com domain. If your preferred domain (redchairs.com) were not available, then red-chairs.com would be a better choice than chairsred.com, from an SEO point of view. Of course, you could optimize just as well for redchairs. net or redchairs.org.
The way I handle this kind of thing is to simply register all the available options and SEO all the sites, with one of them being the primary one. But you have to do this properly and respectfully . . . or Google will hate you.

That has not been my experience.
Do you have any data (or code from the Google algorithm) that would disprove a study like this one?
