What's your opinion of hyphenated domain names?

Dien,

Thanks for explaining.

I just did a search for "running shoes" - with the quotes. And www.runningshoes.com is the last result on the page. The first result is...

Running Shoes - information from ePodiatry
Information from ePodiatry about running shoes, a comprehensive resource on podiatry, podiatric medicine and running shoes.
www.epodiatry.com/running-shoes.htm - 29k

Notice the searched term "running shoes" is in the title, description and url 3 times - it's highlighted each time.

While the www.runningshoes.com url in its link, is not highlighted as a match to my search term.

I repeated the search without the quote marks. www.runningshoes.com is still last (10th) but this time the url is highlighted.

Trying to second guess the search engines is like trying to take a close up photo of the horizon. An exercise in frustration.
