HyphensIf you have hyphens in your domain name it is easier for a human to read and recognise the keywords in a domain.Take a look at specialistcheeseemporium.com or visit specialist-cheese-emporium.com. It is quite obvious that the hyphenated version is going to be recognised more easily. Recognising the domain name is one thing but entering a domain name into your browser is another. It is easier for someone to type the unhyphenated domain name. And it is easier for someone to give out the domain name to a customer if it doesn't have hyphens in it. Some people may not know what a hyphen is. This is why hyphenated domains are mainly purchased when the not hyphenated name is not available or too expensive. And when the domain will only be used as a doorway site or for SEO purpose. Rarelly as the main site domain. What should be the impact of hyphens in the valuation of a name? Past domain sales analysis reflect this valuation formula: Hyphenated Domain Value = Unhyphenated Domain Value / (30 * Number hyphens + 10) So for an hyphenated domain name: Domain Score Value = Unhyphenated Domain Score / (30 * Number hyphens + 10) In other words we do not take care of the possible hyphens during the name valuation process. The hyphens are only used to break the name in keywords. And only the domain score calculated we divide the score found by (30 * Number hyphens + 10). Pricing Simulators |
