It's about time that hyphens truth be told!...I mean if it was a question of hyphen or none of course none would be the choice BUT...if you look at the success of The Castello Bros. & Boulevard Media as well as how many hyphen names such as Albuquerque-New-Mexico.com, Boca-Raton-Florida.com, White-Plains, Pittsburg-PA.com, browardcounty-florida.com, Montreal-Quebec.com the have developed successfully and own premium names as Dallas.com, Indianapolis.com, WestPalmBeach.com, PalmSprings.com. Of course the latter as a type-in are much stronger but seached then hyphen names can be just as good! I own a large portfolio on single non hyphen .Ca such as Indianapolis.ca, Worcester.ca, OklahomaCity.ca, SanibelIsland.ca, Cincinnati.ca.....and since .Com's Geo's like the current asking price for OklahomaCity.com is $800.000 it's out of reach for you average domainer. This is where the hyphens can become a solid stepping stone as it has been for The Castello Bros. & Boulevard Media. As I have notice this I have been able to obtain CarsonCity-Nevada.com, KeyBiscayne-Fl.com, KeyLargo-Fl.com, BrowardCounty-Fl.com, Salinas-Ca.com. As well I own Airplane-Tickets.ca with is in my top 20 income earners at Parked.com Great Post!

A great case study. Estimated Monthly Visits per Month by Quantcast: 797,489. The domain without the dash is simply a parking page. Go figure. Maybe they did not want it because without the dash it could be read as "ExpertSexExchange"? Still I never understood having to type the dash in on this one. **NF** Thanks for the info. I've seen a lot of hyphen .com's over the years (we used to own one that was getting around 150,000 uniques a month) Can't say we look every day but it's rare you come across hypens with .net extensions that garner so much traffic.
