I could be wrong, but I don't think the dashes matter. Google will be able to figure out your keywords either way.

  Not true - Google uses dashes as word separators (and not underscores).
  Explained in this video: YouTube - Should I use underscores or hyphens in URLs?

  I use dashes a lot myself and seem to be able to rank well. I think it's easier to read that way sometimes.

Hi, I use both methods, depending on what the keyword or long string keyword is and if it makes sense when you look at it, and honestly I rank very, very well with both methods.

Hope this helps
