Default Re: To dash or not to dash

Use dashes and not underscores when neccessary.

Dashes are considered (at this point) to be word separators by all SE's when it comes to parsing URL's. Underscores are not.

Recently, Matt Cutts announced that Google will be treating underscores in URL's as separators but to my knowledge, the others have not.

What matters, is how a URL is parsed.

Until (if) the other SE's jump onboard, it's still a better practice to use dashes and not underscores if you are going to use either.

SemAdvance...

You've been chirping your same message in multiple threads.

Give one example where a search for "keyword1 keyword2" returns a single result that uses an underscore.
