Does a dash in a domain name affect search engine rank?

I know people avoid it because it is not as snappy and memorable, but does it affect the way search engines will rank your site? thanks

hey there

yes, a hyphen has an affect.. but the typical question is "is it negative or positive". just look at it this way, SE's build indexes of webpages using (keywords, titles, meta info, etc)..

so depending on the characters used, the keywords, etc. in a domain, sure it will have some weight in the overall indexing process, but DO NOT worry on it.

i did a search for "escorts" and on the first page were 2-3 websites with hyphens in the domain name. so, just from that simple search you can see that a hyphen won't prevent you from placing well, it's waaaaaaay waaaaay much more than that. it's just a small piece of the big puzzle.

peace

Ive used them before without any problem. You may not get the type in traffic but google will still do you good.

Don't fret about it when it comes to SEO. As mentioned, other factors matter much more. If you can get the domain without a dash, even better, because it's more brandable. For SEO, it makes little difference if at all.

Yes, it has an effect because it serves as a separator for the keywords.
