More SEO Myths from forums!
You’ll read a lot of bad SEO advise on forums etc… there is nothing wrong with using hyphens or numbers in a domain name.

Explain it’s SERPs, it’s not even a year old (Google sandbox issues), but is already top 5 for most of the main SERPs in Google including:
General Election 2010 (only Wikipedia above it).
General Election (main SERP: 5th domain listed).
Hyphens are HIGHLY recommended for domain names.
Numbers make sense if like the domain above it’s part of the SERP. I wouldn’t add a number to a domain or a file name for that matter if it wasn’t part of a SERP.
The domain you are on now http://www.seo-gold.com/ is number 1 for SEO Gold even though the home page no longer uses SEO Gold in the title.
