domain Maine-Online.com

I've checked all "Usa State"-online .coms, and this looked interesting:

Maine-Online.com.

So I regged it. Was it a good idea?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

Well, hyphenated domain names usually do not fetch good bucks. Developers always avoid them. They do have some demand in a small fraction of domainers’ community. That is why this name was still available to register. Having said that, you will find many opportunities to flip this name. Just wait for the right buyer to knock your door.

i dont agree with that statement. hyphenated domains of premium keywords have value. i am more than willing to hand-reg make-money or stock-market if they are available.

there is the argument that the hyphen hurts indexing. it can if its inappropriately placed. ke-yword.com as opposed to keyword-keyword.com. if not, the hyphen doesnt hurt indexing.

that is the #1 result for that term and has been so for awhile. it won't be the hyphen's fault if it doesn't index, it'll be our fault.

but as far as your domain goes, i'm not a fan. since "Maine Online" doesnt get much searches, it's a brandable. unless they are really super keywords, most hyphenated brandables are an unlikely sale. i have a problem with brandables in general.

it wasn't a bad hand-reg tho. it's better than most of the hand regges we see on here lol

The hyphen lowers the value but you still have nice keywords. It definitely has development potential. I would appraise it at around mid to high $xx.
