We are doing domain business for years now, and you can figure out changes also for the usage of domian names by the surfers (regardless SEO, it's another thing beside).

What we see is, that for exmaple my-domain.com is nearly redundant without good SEO compared with mydomain.com. User type in with dash is going to zero. Most surfers use search engines like google clicking the first results.
As we are holding 1200+ domains it's also a question of money. But more important seems to us what brings the most money and saves business?

Most will register .com and .net maybe .org and .info also.
The .org and .info works pretty good, but dash domains are going really bad on search results (even with 800-1000 unique surfers a day on each with our SEO work).
Other thing are domains with plural ending like mydomains.com
Do you think they are worth to register?

The big problem beside surfers and search engines knowing your domain well is the danger of competitors grabing a similar domain interfere your business or promoting competitive products.

How do you handle this? Whats your motives to register this spelling and domain ending or that domain name not?

For now we register these, but want do drop the red ones, about the yellow unsure.
