    I wouldn't say the hyphen is a problem, but I've just looked at the domain name and I can't remember what it is. Was it pk-lk? Less chance of remembering the domain name means less return vistors, less traffic etc etc.

    I use them sometimes. Usually if its just a temporary, non serious domain. It also depends on the length

    As long as there aren't too many hyphens it shouldn't matter. However, it certainly does make it more difficult to spell out.

    agreed with sultanofseo, you must consider how your brand image will portray through a hyphenated domain or a domain with hyphens. Although it don't effects SEO at all.
