Peter if you read that it says for filenames (urls) not domain names?

Referencing a post last week from Abhishek:

"2. major search engines favor websites with keywords in their URL; however,
remember to use them sensibly and not to abuse them. When optimizing a page
for a key phrase, separate keywords in the URL with a hyphen
(domain/web-site.html) or an underscore (domain/web_site.html), but do not
write them as one word. Otherwise, search engines will understand it as a
single word (even if the search engine result highlights this keyword in
bold), and your work on URL optimization will be wasted"

So I'd say printer-cartridges.com was the better option. Looks better for
humans, but more difficult to give out over the phone :o)
