best-links.htm or best_links.htm ?

Yeah, the question is simple:
What is better (for example in terms of SEO) to call your files with "-" between words or "_"? And does it matter at all?

thanks, Mike

 

- is good... some people tested it out

 

Do you mean google loves it more?

 

Apparently, Google recognises dashes as spaces, so it's good for SEO...

I'd been experimenting with dashes and underscores for nearly a year to see the difference in SERP; the underscore does okay, but the dash wins hands down.

 

Nice oberservation, wrmineo. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

 

Thanks for this info, it really helps with the new site I am building.
