which is the best separator on the url

Hello friends which is the best separator on the url.
for example
1. www.example.com/tags.asp?tag=hello-world
2. www.example.com/tags.asp?tag=hello+world

shortly "-" or "+" is best for seo

Thanks

 

I would prefer "-" rather than "+". Actually i have not seen "+" in url as well.

 

Thanks for your quick reply, one more doubt.

Is it better to use
1. www. example.com/tags.asp?tag=hello+world
2. www. example.com/tags.asp?hello+world

did we need the "tag="

 

i will prefer _ instead of _.Till now i have not seen the operator + in urls

 

i will prefer to_, example.com/tags.asp?tag=hello-world

 

Yes it's true we never seen '+' in url so '-' is mostly preferred but + is also may helpful when people search. So if anyone wanted to try new, so use of + is not bad.

I would go with "_"

 

Thanks for your suggestions, i think i can try with "+"

 

Same here, I'd go for "_" because it looks formal and better.

 

Yes, Hyphen is the best to choose as a seperator in URL.

 

Hyphen is the best, you use this one example.com/tags.asp?tag=hello-world

 

try underscore, it is easier to read rather than hyphen.

 

I just need for SEO, not for the users.

 

There is a Google document in DP that states that Google recommends the Hyphen.
