Yes it's an issue and I will help you fix this:

I noticed you are using sh404sef

From the back end of your site you will need to go to sh404sef

Then sh404sef configuration security tab,

At the bottom, you will find an option below "Anti-flood configuration",  you will need to set "Activate anti-flood" to "No".

I did an additional case study.

I took a longer domain with not just 1 or 2 but 3 hyphens

http://www.high-higher-highest-rankings.com/

I located one of it's high competitive keywords that it ranks for

"increase website ranking"

I'm sure if you type this in the Google search PPC ads will fill both top and right side

Now we check to see where it's ranking for this key phrase

You will notice that it's located number 2 only losing to an article about Google by About.com

So, I guess that statistically we can't necessarily rule out that the length of the domain with hyphens constitutes a ranking factor.  Maybe only on a broader scale with other underlying issues

There is a lot of mixed opinions on both of these and personally I would rather not use a domain that's long.  I rarely see websites ranking within the top 5 for long domains and I'm sure many people own these long-tail phrases and use them as domains.

According to the SEOMOZ's Google's Ranking Factors 2011
Long Titles + URLs are Still Likely Bad for SEO

You should definitely take a look at this as it breaks down some interesting facts.
