Are Hyphens and Abbreviations Good For Domains?

[Nomad]

A lot of people try to use hyphens and abbreviations for domains of they cannot get the one they want. For instance if they cannot get the domain healthtips, they will go after health-tips. Do you think this is good strategy? Well, I believe this is not a good strategy as it will confuse people about your hyphenated domain with someone else’s non hyphenated domain. Always stick with clean, brandable names.
