    Hello everybody,

    I was wondering, if using (or not using) hyphens in domain names will have impact on seo at all.

    E.g. a user searches for "john doe", ie. a phrase consisting of two words but those words belonging together (forming one term).
    Only regarding the importance of domain names, which one of the following names could rank higher?

    www.johndoe.com
    www.john-doe.com

    I don't like domain names like the second one for typing reasons, but wouldn't it make more sense to the search engines to associate "john doe" with the second version?
