Is it useful for purchasing a hyphened domain?

[cutegirl]

I would like to know if it is useful buying a hyphened domain. How much hyphens can be included in it for its better performance?

Hyphened domains usually have NO VALUE in real terms. But sometimes if its a well developed business website and name is just a short name then for end user its doesn't matter.
e.g. we-met.com

The hyphen(s) don't count against you as far as SEO is concerned. The concern is that traffic will be lost to the non-hyphenated domain. Of course since so many great domains don't have sites on them, that may not matter. Domainers don't like them though

hypens domain doing well if you have a great keywords .com . but the visitors have a doubt to visit your site.

Do a search here for hyphen.
Lots of threads with lots of information to help you.

It depends! But since I notice that you seem to be a beginner and a cute girl as well, you should avoid buying them initially till the time you get a grip on domain name investments. Otherwise you had want to sell them to majority buyers and nobody would care to reply and soon you would be heartbroken

Hyphenated domains do seem to have a lot of value for GERMANS & other Europeans.
Check what all hyphenated domains have ever sold and learn by intuition: http://dnpric.es/?q=-

Also remember, domaining is not just about mathematics (1+1=2), it's also about GREED/WANT/SUPPLY/DEMAND, so don't feel surprised if you see some *shitty* names being sold for five/six figures.

From what I know, hyphenated domains are not worth much as long as they are not something ultra premium (like used-cars.com, cup-cakes.com and etc.) But the problem as mentioned above is that the type-in traffic will be lost to unhyphenated version domain.

Secondly, you ask as 'how many hyphens should be there in a domain'? I guess one hyphen is more than enough, considering the domain has pure generic value as mentioned in the examples above.

Just my 2cents.

No visitor to your website likes the hyphens. But they won't count against you for Google SERPS. So you should develop the domain. Not try to resell it.
