Good article - Mostly agree Todd, but would you really recommend staying away from hyphens altogether? I can point out several instances where my own lack of foresight in registering a domain name without a hyphen has proven to be a mistake, and one that’s pretty embarrassing... - sorry - no more details here ;)

As google seems focused on making sure navigational searchers are satisfied, this is going to become more of a thing, do me a favor and put something of value on the domain, please. I hate those sites with an entire page of adsense.

Searchcommander...a domain with a hyphen in it will be valued much less by a purchaser who is a "classic" domainer. If you are building out the site and plan to hold onto it or are planning to sell it as a business with recurring revenue, the hyphen in the domain will matter much less. LocalHound...many will argue that relevant ads are meeting the needs of the visitor. Better a parking page than a low quality "placeholder" article IMO.

"Predictive SEO" and the $8.00 purchase has worked well for me. Good tips.
