Hi

I've been told that if you name your url for example:

coffee-gift-baskets.htm
it will rank higher than
coffee_gift_baskets.htm
and
coffeegiftbaskets.htm

before I change my naming convention (as I currently use the format coffeegiftbaskets.htm) can anyone confirm what is correct - I am more interested in how Google ranks it.

Thanks

Tina
 
it makes precious little difference. Certainly not enough to warrant a mass file renaming program.

When you are reorganising the site or adding new pages then it may be worth doing, and use a hyphen as a word separator.
