Well, i was searching on google and make up my mind as to use hypen or underscore on my webpages , but i came across this article , which stats that on july 24th 2007 , news.com announced that google will now treat both hypens and underscores equally. So is that true or shall i stick with hypens over underscores, or shall i choose hypens when starting new pages? Thanks
Hyphen's are better They make your URL look more clean and better Easily understandable I know that Underscore also does that, but for me hyphens are a good seperator than Underscore
Many thanks for this information. The "Underscores or Hyphens?" question has caused much debate around here!
Thats what i was thinking too, after reading that article, so i would assume underscore is ok too now.
I have used underscores in all of my sites for 10 years, and I have excellent rankings on every site.
I have used the WORD-WORD.html for over a little a year now and it gets decent SERP results. I just recently started a site with WORD_WORD.html in the url and seeing how the results go for it.
Yes till now ,google treated hypens as dividers but not underscores, but its all changed now i am assuming ? Anyone done any recent tests after the latest news ?
