Ok, so the conventional wisdom was that your domain should contain your site concept keywords. So, if your site concept keywords were Manchester United Rule The World your domain name would be manchester-united-rule-the-world.com such that the individual kewords could be distinguished by search engine crawlers or whatever.
The someone always comes along and says no - don't do that . Who is going to remeber a domain name with hyphens - manchesterunitedruletheworld.com is much more succinct. And it is. But can the crawlers distinguish your site's keywords without the hyphenation?
And, furthermore, does hyphenation really matter anyway now because I read that hardly anyone ever types a url into the address bar anymore - people just what they're looking for and click the link that is served up.
Be interested in your responses as I'm weighiing up my options for the domain name of a new site I'm putting together.
Oh, and Liverpool fans - it's got nothing to do with Man Utd :
