    I think one dash is good, the keyword targeting must be considered although. I believe it's a big factor for search engine's if your targeted keyword is part of your domain name.

    Whether has dash or not, it doesn't matter as long as releated keywords are included in your url.

    If your domain is too long, try with dashes, otherwise without.

    We can see a lot of brands using without dashes. So I guess that's better.

    I like without dashes because almost nobody actually types a domain name other than Google into the address bar these days so the dashes are just extra characters.
