Use or not use hifens

[sigma]

Hi folks

I have just listened the lesson about the domain name registration and did not understand what is the recomendation for a domain name, I mean, use hifens or not. At the begining of the lesson I understood Marc said to use but at the end I understood he is saying to not use.

In time, I am not an english citizen and sometimes it is more difficult to understand.

I personally try not to ever use a hyphen. I do have some great sites that are ranked well and they have a hyphen in their name.

rule of thumb for me, you can use a hyphen but never more then one for SEO purposes.

I was under the impression that using hyphens, is not recommended, but sometimes using one is ok (as mentioned in the other post)

Most marketers recommend always try where possible to get domains without them, as a first option.
