Hyphen Question

I have found a two word domain that sold for $20,100 usd on snapnames.

Yet the Hyphen is available to reg (the net and org hyphens are taken)

Is it worth to reg the Hyphen dot com

I am not a fan off Hypen Domains.

All thoughts welcome

Thanks

If both the .net and .org hyphen names are taken that means there is demand, I would take a punt on it definitely for a few dollars :D

I agree. Register it and market it to the folks the own the unhyphenated version.

Well, it is not worthless...you will probably do far better developing it and getting a few visitors and some income coming in and then sell instead of just trying to sell the domain...it could actually do quite well as a small shoppng blog :)

I agree with the others, try developing the name, getting traffic and SE ranking for your keywords. Try to get your site to be ranked up near the unhyphenated version then go for it and try to sell it to them.. or to some other end users.

In my searches I've found a ton of hyphenated 2-word names still available, of terms that get well into the tens of thousands of exact monthly searches. Once I get my backlog of non-hyphenated names finished as minisites, I'll probably reg about a dozen of the hyphen ones and try them out with minisites. I'll only choose the ones that won't be competing directly with the non-hyphenated dot.com's on google, I look carefully for terms whose dot.com is a parked page. That way I think I have a great chance of making my hyphen site to page 1. Some of my old practice minisites with hyphens (like sheer-clothing.com - though I didn't write the content on that one and the site was thrown together really fast and poorly) are on page 1 google and doing quite well in ads.

So I think, if you don't have a ton of direct competition to get your hyphenated name up there on the engines, you might do quite well. I believe it and I'll be doing it myself pretty quick.

I think you did the right thing by registering that domain. The hyphen is a very interesting issue. On a personal note, I recently found out that both Valuate and Estibot appraise a particular hyphenated domain higher than the same keywords without the hyphen. I am not sure if this is a unique case. The domain is tennis-shoes.de, which shows a $12,000 value. I registered that domain less than two weeks ago. The appraisal of the same keywords without the hyphen is $11,000. As you may figure out, in this case the hyphen serves to separate the Ss.
