Domain registration with dash/plural? - Experts open talk

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.
Any thaughts about? Share it please!


mydomain.com
my-domain.com
mydomains.com

mydomain.net

I see virtually no difference with the plurals. I will register a pluralized domain in a heartbeat. Honestly I believe that Google's algorithm accepts a singular/pluralized version of a word as virtually the exact same thing in the domain, much the same way it does while performing a search.

Hyphens I can't speak from experience, because i've avoided them like the plague from day one. However, I still see a whole lot of hyphenated domains ranking on reasonably competitive terms while doing keyword research. So I'd have to assume if you have an exact match for your targetted term with a hyphen in it, you're still doing ok.

My big favorite for SEO is the reverse matched 2 word term on a .com. Well, second to the exact match at least...

Yes, with a good SEO work domains with hyphens can do well, but I think it's only worth for the .com and maybe the .net

Reserved domain names makes a lot of sense, but I liked to let the SEO stuff out.

So you would register the names also ALWAYS with hyphens and plural?
Or doing this only for the .com names?
