Your statement would hold true if this was the beginning of the internet and there werent a ton of hyphenated keyword loaded domains
So prove it. Your statement is literally impossible, if only for geolocation reasons for starters. You can’t do the same thing, today, with a .cn that you can with a .com. It’s not currently an enormous difference, but it is one. The same with co.uk. The engines treat you differently. (poker.com has almost no algorithmic virtues besides its domain name, but is worth six figures at least while poker.cn is not.) Less clear is their signal weighting of more than one hyphen.
The idea that poker.com and multiple-hyphen-poker-domain.cn start on the same footing would be absurd. In other words, domain name has some value.
As usual with these discussions though people look for black and white answers, and they seldom exist. Many small factors create the whole picture. Exact match is a small advantage. Non-com tld is a small negative. Multiple hyphens is a potential negative. One word exact matches are more than a little valuable.
But this is straying from the topic of the thread. He’s trying to sell a domain. It would seem a nice idea if people would comment on their opinion of the value of his domain and their reasons.
