What-are-your-opinions-on-dashes?

[Jernet]

one hyphen is an excellent and affordable alternative to a very popular search term. i always like to use the letter 'e' as an example. what do you think looks better? freeemail.com or free-email.com? more than one hyphen however does tend to look spammy.

as many people suggested, it is always better to get both if possible.

My preference is as follows:

1) Exact match .com
2) Exact match .net .info .org etc
3) Hyphenated .com

$20,000 !

It originally came out of Snapnames if I remember correctly. Other dashed prices are below:

travel-agent.com $4,278.00

mortgage-rate.com $1,427.00

Great formula.

Were you peeking over my shoulder?

LOL, but seriously, if just parking the page for revenue, how many dashes in between the two keywords can you still get away with and make some nice money?

This obviously comes with a newbie warning from my end, but I actually think some names look much better with a hyphen. These are the names made up of well-known hyphenated dictionary words, so that when you see them run together in a domain name it takes a while to figure them out.
