    Can someone tell me if the title of a page is particularly important, eg is:

    better or worse than:

    ..or is either perfectly acceptable?

    I think its better to have Adult-Search-Engines.html as the search engine will see - as a space.

    Yep indeed its best to use - rather than jamming the word all together.

    " - " is better than "_" but it isnt a really big difference.

    Thanks for the replies folks. I have now renamed all pages using hyphens to indicate spaces and all pages now end .html.
