    I have been told that use of key words in a url is a great start to getting site in SERP

    what I need to know and hope you can help me with is what is the concensus on hyphens
    which would be the best url to use from the following 2 examples

    www.discountredshoes.com

    www.discount-red-shoes.com

    this is often asked....

    search engine is smart enough to tell that both URL have similar keywords

    but which one is more suitable for human memory?

    I choose the one without hyphens

    As a side note there maybe a reason to get a domain without hyphens.

    Consider these domains:

    www.shoe-shop.com

    www.shoeshop.com

    The second one actually has the keyword "shoes" in it whereas the first one doesn't. So in my opinion the second domain would rank higher for the keyword "shoes" all other things being equal.
