hyphenated domains and type in traffic

[ibjp]

I am looking at a good two word domain that is hyphenated.

Does anyone have an idea as to the quantity of type in traffic for this type of domain would receive? Also an approximate value?

Thanks,

Most often a hyphen drops the value of a domain significantly.

hyphen isnt that good unless it has really good keywords

One simple question... have you ever type in a hyphen when you enter an URL?

Whole different animal. Hyphens are pretty much for the search bar crowd and not the url bar crowd. Not a bad thing, just a different model.

there are some hyphenated domains that are ok, depends what you mean by "they are good"..first of all anything but .com I wouldnt even consider (except .de, they Love hyphens)...anyway..something like drug-rehab.com is ok, not great value, but ok...but something like game-gamers.com is just another useless .com

Thats easy.
The domain will receive 1000 uniques a month and it is worth 1 million dollars

ummm, never. good point.



the domain is also a .co.uk which I assume would devalue it more.

Thanks for all the responses.

depends on the keywords, check if the .com, net, org, info are gone. For example, New-York is good, Free-Games is good, most good two word combos are taken with the hyphen, just do some lookups.

more people and businesses will have to move to the hyphen to get the names they want. Ofcourse not having the hyphen is best but they do have a place, and work well for search engines.
