    Yes they do. What is your domain name?

    It is currently under construction but is very keyword targeted ... it's just so darn long:

    XXXX - XXXXXX- XXXXXX - XXXXX - XXXX.com

    I've seen plenty of hyphenated domains get indexed, I have a strange suspicion the more hypens though the harder it is to rank. 1 or 2 hypens I've seen plenty, but more than that, not too much.

    Well domain be hypenated or non hypenated doesn't make any sense but if u spam with the keyword...like make it spammy .i.e. stuff with keyword with non sense content then obviously Google will not index....

    Why i say this because many people register these key-words.com s to spam for making more ,money via adsense....etc..so have a unique content and no problem wid google..even such keywords domain may get more preference.
