Hi,

I've always made my subpages with nothing but my keywords (.com/pokerbonuscode.htm) Is it better to have them like this instead: (.com/poker-bonus-code.htm)?

I haven't had any problems with the way that I have been doing it, but I see that many of the most know sites use the "-" in between the words. I'm starting a new site and am curious which would be better for SEO?

Any thoughts would be great. Thanks in advanced!

Any rationale for why the hyphens are better?

I would like to know the same thing?

Hyphens are used as a "space" to say the words are seperate. Not a huge difference either way, but still.

Alright, thanks for the help! My new pages will no include "-" between words.

pokerbonuscode.htm is useless. Either do poker-bonus-code.htm or something like codes.htm. Hyphens allow words to be read individually, while scrunching the words together is the same as sysysyts.htm, useless.

OOPS....lol

I will remember this from now on!

Ok, so now I guess the question is: which is better to use "-" or "_"

EX: poker-bonus.htm or poker_bonus.htm

Also, does it make a difference if you use .htm or .html?

Never use an "_". Always use a "-"

There is no difference between html and htm, although I would guess the public is more used to html.
