Arrow ***** Trying to choose a correct Domain Name! Does it hurt if it has a - ? ****

So I want to register a domain name but so many good ones are taken will it hurt me if I pick one for example like. Business-Services.com
Pretty much I want to know if the - in the middle of whatever name I choose is a bad thing?

It's bad for repeat traffic, most will never remember to include the hyphen in the domain name.

Keep it simple for repeat traffic.

Could be bad for repeat traffic, but it won't be "bad" in terms of search engine ranking and SEO.

A good trick is to use a number series behind the keyword for the url. You can use any combination you choose, google will not penalize for that and you can own many different combos and split test.

(space added to break url)
www. bluewidget120.com
www. bluewidget130.com and so on. This way you can get an exact match domain name and have the kw's up front in url for more power. This has been used in major advertising campaigns with huge companies with no ill effects.

It works for a lot of people...
