I have been following this interesting thread for some time and wanted to jump on your bandwagon
Agree with you fully Bid. I am always amazed so few seem to understand or grasp these issues very well.
Order of the keywords makes zero difference as far as searches go. That's why you see names like estatereal.com and even estate-real.com reg'd. Note, I did not check to see if these are in fact reg'd but am assuming they are due to their significant search engine value.
As a side note, non-hyphenated name would act in a SE like it has a space just like the one with the hyphen due to something called 'word parsing,' a technology pioneered by Google and now used by other SE's also, which can easily seperate words, especially dictionary words.
The order of keywords only matters are far as type-in traffic goes as no one types them in backwards of course. Of course, this is a major benefit to reg'ing names in the correct word order so you do not need to only rely on search engines.
That's why Overture (which is a search engine) reports "Searches done in June 2002 Count Search Term 1063031 real estate, regardless of it being entered backwards or not.
