No problem, man, I enjoy your insights. Not mentioning your blog would have taken more thought for sure. A mention is just a natural extension of what I was doing.

Comment on The hyphenated domain name dilemma by DanRMorris

Adam, do you know anything about deliverability of e-mail that comes from a domain that happens to have the word sex in it? (like wordpressexperts.com) If having those letters in a row like that reduces deliverability of e-mail, I’m thinking that’s another reason to consider hyphens.

Dan it’s an interesting topic that I’m not totally clear on either from an SEO perspective. Generally think that I’d go with a pure play over a hyphen 99% of the time but I’m not going after long domains and I’m not playing the marketing game. I’m a type-in domain guy. I go for names that don’t need Google to get traffic. yea they still exist. BUT I do own some hypenated domains as well because often the pure/generic domain is taken or hard to come buy and a hyphen isn’t always bad looking or undesirable. I’m not sure I’d pick a hyphen over a .net though . . .

Lastly, I think the long names lend themselves toward hyphens making them LOOK good and that works for PPC campaigns so that may actually help conversions on a ppc campaign. It’d be interesting to test using a hyphen and a non-hyphen in a campaign to see if the users do actually consider it spammy and thus dont click the hyphen as much. Also remember it’s not only readability on the internet. It’s typability and memorability. A hyphenated domain is definitely not either.

It’s an interesting discussion.I’ll see if I can get more of the SEO guys I know to throw their hat in to the discussion.

I came across another hyphenated domain name question. When the word “sex” appears in your domain name, and it’s not intended, like:

http://wordpressexperts.com

Should you hyphenate it or change it? My comment was it may not matter to search engines, but if you send e-mail from that address it might have an effect on deliverability. I’d be interested to hear an e-mail marketing expert’s take on the question.
