Hyphenated domains question here

[shags38]

Hi,

Hyphenated Domains query.

In a 3 word domain does it matter where a hyphen is placed as far as search engines are concerned (mainly Google).
The query is related to traffic generation only - no interest in Branding or other memorable aspects of the name

Example: FreshRedApples.com

FreshRed-Apples or Fresh-RedApples

Will the above return the same Bot recognition as an exact search term match as Fresh-Red-Apples?

thanks in advance for your input.

cheers,
Mike

It should but it wouldn't be as memorable.

I would avoid hyphenated domains for SEO purpose. BIg G has started to not rank them as well as non hyphenated.
