Which domain would be better?
keywordkeywordkeyword.com
or
keyword-keyword-keyword.com

Depends what you're going to do with it.
I'm not keen on domains with more than 1 hyphen. But sometimes it may be worth it.

Well, both of them are available. The domain is for my AWS site.
I could have got my mp3 player reviews domain in two hyphens, but like Chromate, I really don't like having more than one.

Yep, that's what I've been thinking also. Any other comments?

If you can get the domain: keywordkeywordkeyword.com then I would go for that. Unless the words don't sit together well, in which case use a hyphen.

I don't like hyphens at all... I would go with the first option.

I would get both. Use the hyphenated version for links or anywhere else a computer could read it. Use the non-hyphenated version for human use.

That's exactly what I would do. If your just aiming to get visitors through search engines and not really worried about returning visitors I would get the one with the hyphens. If you want to do both, get both.

Don't be tempted to market both through the search engines though. Also, even if you aim to market through the search engines having two hyphens can be seen as looking a bit spammy from an editor's point of view, say when submitting to DMOZ etc
