    that the question, www.spyphonebluetooth.com i`ve chosen, the website is far from ready one, and i would like to know if better would be www.spy-phone-bluetooth.com? It`s not too late to change yet.
    Thank you 4 your answers.

    www.spyphonebluetooth.com is better.Compared to the latter,it's easy to remember.I think domain with two hyphens is not a good choice.If with one,it's still acceptable.

    The sole reason why you could lose all your traffic is because you registered a hyphened domain name. People will not remember to " put a hyphen" between the domain, and will be most likely redirected to another website.


    Yugo,

    In my opinion, no hyphen beats hyphen hands down. Easier to remember, and less chance of miss spelling.

    NO hyphen is good, you know one fact that why go with hyphen one, because the domain name they want are already registered. :)

    Got with the one that you already have. No hypen is best.
    People do not remember put the hypen or dots in between the URLs they enter.

    This is one of the reasons why del.icio.us has later come down to delicious.com

    Nobody really knows for sure. Your domain name comes into play for 2 different sources - The search engine spiders (Google), and people entering your domain in the address bar.

    From a bot perspective, the hyphens are probably better. I think this because Google says that anything you can do to help the bots read your site, you should do. That isn't their exact words, but close enough:)) So by using the hyphens you are telling google exactly what the name of your site is, as opposed to letting Google make a guess by parsing your domain name if you do not use the hyphens.

    With regards to people not remembering to put a hyphen in a url, I say BS. Most people will Bookmark a site if it is one that they are interested in. They won't rely on their memory.

    But again, nobody really knows so don't worry about it. There are probably more sites out there that do not use hyphens than do, so if you want to go with the majority, don't use them.:))
