    I'm correcting some issues with a friends website so it can get crawled more easily. I'm curious if its better to use the underscore or dash in a url, or does it matter at all?

    The link I'm referring to is this one...
    Skip_Dog_1st_The_Money_Then_The_Power.html
    http://www.cashflow420.com/storeitem-64/Skip_Dog_1st_The_Money_Then_The_Power.html

    Is this the correct way or would it be best to make the url with dashes like this?
    Skip-Dog-1st-The-Money-Then-The-Power.html

    I've read that - is a little better than _, so little that I wasn't bothered to change it in my site :)

    Good to hear it! That would really save me some time if this is true. Can anyone else confirm this?
