I have a question regarding the spaces in nice URL-s , I am coding a new site and for URL I will use complete title so I was wondering what should I use for spaces '-' or '_' do anybody know what is preferred eg /review/Best-Tennis-Rackets.html //or /review/Best_Tennis_Rackets.html Code (markup):
I think it's best to go with dashes, although I have had success using underscores as well. I think some engines treat this differently, i.e. Hyphens: "these-are-treated-as-seperate-words" Underscores: "this_is_treated_as_a_whole_word" That help?
I think better to use dash instead of underscore, As matt disscussed here http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores/
i've seen this on several domains in search results and it is best to go with the hyphen in my experience. Never have a I seen a underscore outperform. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but isn't there with everything?
hyphen makes kywords separate in se point of view, and underscore makes them as a one word, hows that?
Wow, I completely forgot about the underscore doing that. Haven't had to do that since I used HotBot for a search engine...lol
Underscore vs hyphen, does this answer your question ? I don't think it matters much though you should go for hyphen as its a word seperator
