    HI, Have a question about text to use;

    Should I use, text_text, underlined or just use spaces, text20%text, for the best SEO benefit? I am using this for file naming and ALT tags.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello, Fix Johnson.
    For file names, you must follow the conventions of the OS running at your server. Generally, spaces are not allowed so use underlines. For ALT attributes, you can write whatever you want because it doesn't matter: it is free text.
    Hope this help.

    I personally use text-text for SEO benifits as search engines see the - as a space.

    It's according to OS on which your site is running and your browser will automatically Convert it


    Use text-text for best Result (According to My experience)
