can i still rank a 4 hyphenated domain

I heard that a domain with 4 hyphens in like mine cant rank cos its seems spammy.

It has keywords in. Any thoughts?

It can definitely rank, you just don't see it too often because yes, it does look spammy.

Most people who would try to rank a site like that would opt for a less hyphenated domain to increase their CTR, not necessarily because it is harder to rank.

Sure, you could.

But think about how people are these days. Will they click on a one-worded domain or a domain with hyphens as long as a train?

It's not 2006 anymore.

I believe Google with recongize 4 hyphens, 4 keyword domain as "keyword spam".

But if you get HQ backlinks, not all of sudden but with somewhat natural gain, you can rank well.


But I wouldn't recommend such domain
1. What sells is "credibility". 4 hyphens domain looks fishy to many visitors.
2. all traffic driven to it is lost, nobody will remember correctly 4 hyphens domain and you will lose all returning traffic.

No worries mate. There is no problem for having 4 hyphens if your website has good backlinks and also good and unique content

Your domain name is not the problem, the problem relies greatly on your On and Off Page SEO.

It's ugly. Rarely see a hyphenated domain that ranks on page 1.

It's now 2015. Go with PMD or Brandname.

EMD is outmoded.
