I'm a novice to SEO and am wondering - if I'm trying to be "found" by google and I want to rank for the keyword phrase "lets go shopping", is there a difference between www.letsgoshopping.com and www.lets-go-shopping.com?
By difference, I mean will one way be found more over the other if some one just searches 'lets go shopping.' I'm not sure when it's best to use hyphens or not. Would a search for lets go shopping even pick up letsgoshopping?
Thanks in advance to all you SEO experts that will hopefully educate me a little!
from experience all of my hyphenated domains return first page results for competitive terms..it seems to be super easy to rank on yahoo this way too
yes google would see letsgoshopping/lets go shoppingthrow it in google look what happens
i dont think one is better than the other..usually the non-hyphenated are older
this explains well, its older but seems solid

Now I just need to find the right keywords....I'm trying to rename my shopping blog. Thanks so much!

But I am wondering why there seems to be competition in the real google world and no competition showing for it in the external keyword tool world?

When I do a search on google adwords for example on breastmilk, it brings up options with it written as two words "breast milk". Just wondering, will it make a big difference to SEO if two words are put together? Or should I always separate for optimum SEO? Or does it just not...
