    Having One dash in your domain name will not affect your SERP.but will definitely affect the type-in traffic.

    Having two dashes (side-handyman-repair.com) will make you loose your 'Type-in traffic'.But your SERP won't be affected...

    number 1,2, or 3 ??
    1. molokaihandymanrepair.com
    • molokai-handymanrepair.com
    • molokai-handyman-repair.com

    just want to be sure that when I statrt building pages and unique directoris the engines pick up my contents per page ... in fact after the domain uri ... I can build a directory like this molokai-handymanrepair.com/hawaii-handyman/index.html or what ever way you use your expert seo domain referencing .......... I like it when top seo's really help one another in domain relevancy especially for niche domain marketing .... I do see lots of expert seo's on board that use dahes thats why I asked

    I think it depends on your marketing focus, for example dashes would not be good if you were advertising over the radio. Also as another poster said type in traffic is better with no dashes. However dashes may be OK for your biz depending on how you plan to run it. Good luck :)
