Do domains with hyphens recieve any traffic?

[ugnali]

i was just wondering if anybody knows any sites with a hyphened domain name that gets real good traffic?

No idea.. but my fan-mail (.us) received 5 views the first day at Sedo.

One of my sites, BC-Realty.com, gets 300-400 unique visitors per day.
That's a lot of traffic considering the site's subject matter.

Yes, but they have developed subdomains and are promoted... Not just off of type-ins typically.

ie http://www.link-through.com/iChoke , http://www.link-through.com/new_car_road_signs , etc.

hyphen names are good for development because they are better in search engines, so developed sites will get good traffic while undeveloped probably not

Christian-Talk.com which i'm selling atm gets a good 50-60 a day @ normal.

Isn't it every end-user's intention to develop a site?
BC-Realty.com has only ever been promoted in search engines, directories and related sites. The hyphen don't hurt in the search engines.

Hyphens are great when it comes to SEO.
My best hyphenated site gets 10,000+ visitors pr day, with a record of 14,000+...

search engines ignore hyphens and take them as a 'space' so they can be better than single ' non' words
