    It soon won't matter; in the past a hyphen was better than an underscore, it seems it will no longer make a difference.

    The problem you're experiencing is unrelated to the use of underscores or hyphens.

    Exactly.
    G Bot is getting more intelligent everyday and removing the un-necessary difference between such thing.
    But somehow, I still like hyphen over underscore :)

    The most closely held SEO secret (until now that is) is to use both....i.e. www.mydomain.com/computers_-internet/

    and for slightly higher rankings...www.mydomain.com/computers-_internet/

    And thus another SEO urban legend is born.


    Disclamer: Intended for humor purposes only, do not try at home. Besides, it makes for incredibly ugly urls.

    I was looking at this underscore thing pretty negatively because of my SEO site, I have just realized that my directory uses them so I am 50/50 about it now.

    Is there a tally? Has anyone's mind been changed? Don't you own both domains anyway?

    you do realise that once you change the structure an urls,

    All your internal TBPR , for the changed urls, will vanish
