    Keep your URL with your key words the same and google will like it.

    Google prefer "-" instead of "_"

    As posted on Google support group "We recommend that you use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in your URLs."

    Google bots looking hyphen as a space and underscore for nothing.

    we-are-great.html = We Are Great

    we_are_great.html = wearegreat

    This was a very long time ago until now and Google still does not fix it. :) I think Google bots should be smarter by looking underscore as space now.
