    my highest earning site has a dash in the domain name

    Was just thinking about how it is consistently my best revenue earner and it has a (-)dash in the domain, something some people always are prejudiced against

    just thought I'd mention it to open up a few people's minds, when it comes to seo search engine traffic, a dash doesn't hurt at all (who knows for sure, it might even help some)

      its all about content.

              Meanwhile I agree with you that it doesn't hurt when it comes to SEO, and poster above who said that content is king.

              But let me add, without hyphen in the domain it would have been earning a bit more. Agree or not, you are losing some of your visitors.

                      Yep, a high percentage of users will try to type yourdomain.com when returning. not your-domain.com. That is why a dash in the domain name is bad.

                              perhaps, but the most money is made from first time visitors, I think profits fall off drastically from repeat visitors when it comes to almost anything in the affiliate game

                                  Reminds me of the very first domain I bought in 1998... had a hyphen and was a .net. lol, I don't know why I picked that when so many others were available. Anyways, from a branding standpoint, I think domains without a hyphen work so much better. Just looks more professional even. I own a few with hyphens though, it all depends on what you are planning to do with the domain. I wouldn't build a paysite with a hyphened domain.
                                  you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
