Advise needed about files and search engines

bradw01f · 05-05-2011, 10:53 AM

Hello

I have just put my domain name Live and need some advise

I have my files as MasonicPoemsAmIABuilder.asp etc.. but would Masonic-Poems-Am-I-A-Builder.asp or Masonic_Poems_Am_I_A_Builder.asp be better for the search engines?

Do not think there could be any difference, but I would rather use the hyphened option.

The same - SE is able to divide words. Being looked through several options realized, I also agree about hyphens.

Yes Hyphen is the best option for search engines to index correctly.

Hyphen actually treats each word separately unlike the underscore that makes it one complete string which makes no sense whatsoever.

As per my think of view, using underscore is Good for Search engines and users as well. User can easy understand what about it the page. If you page has separate names then no one understand it easily so

Don't care about Search Engine, Think about Users
