Dashes in Domain names

Hi folks,

I have been doing plenty of reading on the subject of choosing a Domain name but can't really get a definitive answer (if there is one of course) with regard to using a dash in the name.

My thinking is to use a combination of two or three target keywords for the name and seperate them with the dash...www.first-second-third.tld

Would that be preferable, and easier to read/type, than one long string or is it better to keep to a single string? I'm assuming search engines will see the dash as a space

Thanks in advance for your advice

 

I'd buy the domain with and without the dashes. Set the domain without the dashes to redirect to the one with.

Thanks for the advice Adam, I appreciate your time.

I will do what you suggest.

 

Lol Adam, you remind me of that guy in Full House, I think it was Steve Dj's boy friend lolll maybe its just cause I can see a tiny thumbnail but yea

 

Buy without dashes and save your money.
