Dashes vs. Underscores in URLs • Fletcher Tomalty

The debate over whether to use dashes or underscores to represent spaces in URLs is rather heated in the web development community, but not quite as extremely so as that of whether to use tabs or spaces when indenting code. So, what is better to substitute for spaces in URLs, dashes or underscores?

The simple answer is that, never mind what Google prefers, underscores are the right way to go. Why?

I’ve always refused the dash in URLs. Always will.
