Are double hyphen .net domains worth anything?

    Are domains like A--J.net and B--O.net worth anything and is there a market for them?

    Thanks!

    You mean: some-web-site.net ??

    Not really. one hyphen itself is difficult for people to remember + G these days does not give positive points to such domains.

    No, I mean a letter on one side, 2 hyphens in the middle, and one letter on the other side.

    They're worth whatever people are willing to pay for them.

    I wouldn't expect that to be very much.

    I don't think they would be worth much, people generally tend to forget a single hyphen in a domain, let alone two.

    Google doesn't penalize because of hyphens, are you on crack?

    Ok, I think we have established that they are not worth much but does anyone want to buy 50 of them for $4 each? :)

    I have a hyphened domain name (two hyphens) and have not been able to sell it. Abandoned it a long time ago.

    These aren't good for resell purposes or to market to end users, semi-ok for development but suck if you want to make a professional/huge website.

    Yeah I dont like them either, they seem counter productive if you want natural traffic

    I'm fairly sure they wont be worth much, since furthermore they are .net

    At least with a .com, it gets a little better...(a little)

    I would say that all N--N would be gone and most probably all L--L too, these would be worth something although I'm not sure what
