I know what you mean about the hyphens, I wouldn't have touched them a year ago, but it seems from my own research that the hyphens do help (or don't hinder) when you're dealing with a really competitive industry like poker. If you take a look at any of the top poker
website hostings they're all using hyphens for the page names, and lots of
website hostings are using them in the domain name too.
Why is it so different for the actual domain name? If hyphens are effective in the page name, why does it not follow that they are effective in the actual domain name too?
Are hypens in the domain name to be avoided for resale value, or is there something I'm missing here?
Also, thanks for the laugh about BrianSwank.com
