Hi all! I got to know something. If you go to google do a search on wiget-site.com and get 50 site's contain the term wiget-site.com Then You do a search wiget--site.com or wiget---site.com and get the same 50site's contain this search term, does that mean it's time for me to start buying the same domains as high raked site that have a (-) in the domian name and reep the fruits of there hard work? Or is this just a google thing that only works in google search terms?

thanks all.

It's not going to help you. Hyphenating keywords in a domain mostly helps in the directories, and there's probably some small benefit with the spider driven search engines, too.

But getting positioning at Google involves mostly:

1. Quality optimization for your important keyword phrases.

2. Links from other sites that provide you with quality PageRank.

3. Keywords in the anchor text of those text links from those other sites to yours.

Focus on that stuff and you will get what you seek. Good luck.

The "contain the term" results don't indicate any usefulness. It's the link: search that matters for your PageRank, and registering widget---site.com won't give you the backlinks from widget-site.com
