Don’t use dashes, underscores or any other characters within your domain name that may cause confusion.

This may lead people to go to the site with the same address as yours but no dash.

This means not only will you lose traffic, if the site is similar you are transferring it to your competitors.

No dashes is probably better for returning visitors or word of mouth. If you have to say xxx-yyy.com it is harder than xxxyyy.com but for search engine optimization believe it or not dashes can be better, although google has become smart enough for this some still havent.

Search engines used to guess at words that werent seperated with hyphens. but most can figure it out now.

Words of truth. Dashes are not needed and make for poor verbal reproduction of a site's URL.
