Google: Hyphens Still Recommended Over Underscores In URLs For SEO

[calista]

I get the reasoning behind this.

You can register hypenated domains but not under score ones, something to keep in mind

Hypens in domains are as dumb as tits on a wild boar,Register the domain without a hyphen.

When I read "Still Recommended Over Underscores In URLs For SEO" I take that to mean, don't use under scores use hyphens if you have to

who wants to register a domain with an under_ score

[Mitch]

Nothing surprising there it is what I thought.

Logical point no dispute from me

What prevents domains having underscores or is it just a rule they placed day one

Can you imagine what confusion there would be if we had domains with underscores and hyphens in the names.

Even if it was available I will never register a domain with a hyphen or underscore it is pointless. You are just going to have people type the name with no hyphen and lose the visitor.

Who decided why hyphens were acceptable in domains and not other characters?
