A: Having relevant keywords in your domain name can be a very good thing...But do not forsake the usability factor.

How often have you seen domain names like this?

OK, so that's a exaggeration, but you do not need to use hyphens to separate you keywords in "most" cases. The only time you would need to separate them, is if the search engines do not display the keywords highlighted within domain names in the search results. This hardly ever happens.

So keep it easy to remember and user friendly for best results.
