Hypens ..
Chris, in your opinion, for naming of pages ... using of hypens or underscores, which is better for google seo?
example:
lemon_juice.htm
or
lemon-juice.htm

hyphens... Google, for whatever odd reason, doesn't parse underscores as spaces (atleast last I checked). This is something I only just figured out a couple months ago when I did some tests.

Thanks for the tip!
I noticed for website-templates.net, you use underscore ... any special reason?
-

Because I made that site before I discovered this issue.

There are still so many people preaching that underscores are better ... sometimes I wonder how those "experts" come up with their weird theories ...

If you do use underscores, do you think it's worth changing them all?

On an established site, no. But if your site is brand new without any incoming links yet then you might as well.

Oh, forgot about that.
If I changed everything all the links in google would be broken
Do you think when I have finished tweaking everything (including changing names), I should resubmit to google?
Thanks,
Mike

I always submit after making a major change like that.

Ah...ok.
Will it change all the names to their "new" names then?
Thanks,

After a crawl and an update, yes.

By the way, is it against their TOS to submit your site more than once?
I'm sure I read it once, but can't find it now...
