Multiple Hyphoens?

What are peoples views for multiple hyphens from a search perspective?

Obviously for branding it's a bit rubbish, but looking at a three word (quite high volume) term and it's -' domain name is avaliable.

Thanks

Personally i think they look a little spammy, but from an SEO perspective no problems.

I prefer domains without the hyphens, but from an SEO perspective I haven't found any problems with them. Can still get them ranked highly (up to number 1), so you shouldn't have any problems in that respect.

Due to the lack of good generic domains available one often has no option but to opt for the hypheonated version.
However, judging by the natural search results for a range of keywords, I have noticed that hypheonated domains tend not to do so well?

Au contraire, one of my best performing sites for SEO has a hyphenated name.

One hyphen domains are seen in the organics all the time - just hardly see more than that,

Thanks for the advice all
