need quick help on this

Hi guys and gals,

I am about to start a new site, and as dumb as this question may be, I need some help on my URL

what way would you go....

www.jims-home-improvment-resources.com

www.jimshomeimprovementresources.com

I like the dashes for the homepage main URL

but need to know if search engines frown on it, or if it does not matter or if the SE's want dashes...

any help is much appreciated as I wish to start this site today,

BTW, the url posted here is just made up for an example...

TIA

Both are horrid, but if your going to have a long keyword url use the dashes.
I can hardly read the one without dashes.

If however its a sentance/phrase/brand eg 'afishfollowsthebait' something that is easy to type then go for the non dash version.

Whichever you choose use the content to get the sentance/phrase/brand accross.

And buy the other one just incase pesky domianers jump on the bandwagon.
