definitely YES!
ps remember , hyphens do have good value in product, geo segment

You can count on search engine driven results with a hyphenated name as much as you can with a non-hyphenated name... but when it comes to type-ins, forget about it.

The fact is, most geo keywords are so well established on the search engines that you would have a very difficult time competing.

Personally, I would pick a keyword combination like "mynewyork" over "new-york" any day of the week. It would be my advice to find a domain without hyphens before you put effort into building a site which might end up having difficulty driving traffic.

As a website owner, your bread and butter is causing money to change hands, and using such transactions to make a profit. Getting traffic is the preliminary... which is why a good, easy to remember domain name is so important. Hyphens create confusion, so it is likely to reduce the traffic your site should be getting, and inherently, reduce the revenue.

With geo-domains it is about the target market of the site. If your site is aimed at visitors/tourists to the city/state/country then undoubtedly the non-hyphenated domain would be better as you would achieve a higher number of direct type-ins. However, if your site is aimed at the local residents then your main aim should be for visitors to bookmark the site and repeat visit it, in this situation the number of 'type-ins' over time should become less important.

Just my 2 cents.
