    Not sure I agree on the amount of hyphens that is "allowed". If you look at a lot of blogs that list high in the results, some of their URL's have 5, 6, even more hyphens in it. In fact there's a hyphen between every word in the post title. So, if hyphen amount were a factor, then why would these rank so well?

    The rewrite option is the way to go. That's what most SEO experts say. However, they can't explain why DigitalPoint pages (which aren't redirected and have ugly URLs) rank so well.

    URL's are a critical factor in SEO, there is no question about it. I always look for domains that start with my #1 target keyword and always use mod rewrite to ensure clean longtails in the form
