Major discusion on SERPS and domains!

OK, it needs to be discussed, the affect of the domain name on SERPS!

ok here is the first major question: EXAMPLE cheat-codes or cheatcodes which one would rank high naturally? Many people claim using the hyphens makes it more relevant to SERPS

but all the time i see the words smashed together, and they are number 1 on google

whats better freeimagehosting or free-image-hosting

i need to understand thanx

 

Hyphenated domains have an edge IMO, but it depends on what your goals are for the site.

 

ok, how about this one... let's take the first example:

freeimagehosting vs. free-image-hosting

it's my opinion that the latter will rank better for "free image hosting" but will one rank better for "image" than the other?

 

Using the same logic, the latter would have an edge.
