In fact, search engines count less than users do. Sacrificing quality, branding and usability ultimately sacrifices long-term success. If its the quick, flash-in-the-pan results people want, then by all means register www.keyword.com. But a quality business model that is not! Search engines are not all that count.

Most of the sites they tout as successful have hyphenated names. They justify it by saying a large percentage of their sites rank very high in the search engines, and that it's search engine traffic you're seeking, after all. Their schtick is to do an extremely keyword-rich domain name, even if it's long, and use the hyphens because they are easier to read. They are very strong in that opinion.
