domain.com/keyword-keyword domain.com/keywordkeyword domain.com/keyword_keyword Much appreciated, thanks.
I heard that Search Engines treat a - as a space and a _ as a hard character. So I would choose domain.com/keyword-keyword over the others.
There is no difference between an underscore and a dash SEO wise, want a great example? Look at wikipedia URLs, they use underscores and rank very well in search engines. The choice is a matter of liking, not SEO value or weight.
Keyword-Keyword for me, I think it looks cleaner and creates a more 'user friendly' readable url. Just my preference though. With regards to the SEO of the url, I'd also say the dashes would win, as I would expect you would get more traffic from the search 'keyword keyword' than 'keywordkeyword'
As of a few years ago, Matt Cutts advised using dashes. Not sure if it still holds true, but I doubt it has flipped all the way around. I think its safe to say that dashes are as good as underscores, maybe better.
Yeah as you say Matt Cutts and Google say dashes work better I also seen a video from Google covering this topic aswell as Matt Cutts covered it in an article on his blog ages ago. EDIT Adjusted typo.
What? I said dashes and you said underscores. Do you disagree or did you mis-type? Just trying to clear it up.
Yes agree with "alienated". The first one works really well a lot of the time. The hyphen i think its called, is read and accepted a lot better by search engines, so i have found.
Yeah sorry I typed the wrong word its early in the morning over here. I would advise the use of dashes, like it says in matt cutts blog and in a video I saw from Google.
I think domain.com/keyword-keyword is the best. You shouldn't have domain with dash but url with not too many dash is good.
