Hyphen in keywords??

[Nappy Bunch]

Hi all

If a hyphen is generally used when googleing a keyword ie there are more exact searches with the hyphen than without is it better to buy the domain with the hyphen?

Thanks

I am pretty sure searching word1-word2 in google is equivalent to searching "word1 word2" (exact search with quotes), for which word1word2.com domain will do just fine.

word1-word2.com kind of domains will be always be considered as crappy copycats of word1word2.com kind of domains.

You are right but you get benefit from SEO if you use hyphen as well...hyphen is counted as space...
