tip, if you are going for SEO in your URLs, google cannot read"_" but can read "-".
I remember GoogleGuy said it could do both, and really _ was preferred. Though this info might have changed, I read it along time ago.
Michael,
I'll take your very useful tip under advisement. I wasn’t aware that Google couldn’t read an underscore but can read a dash. I was going for SEO in my URLs but I was unaware of my mistake. I'll replace the underscores with dashes.
Thanks, I appreciate the tip!
Josh
Google can read both.

If Google can read both it is new. I actually got in a little mini argument with GoogleGuy about it a while back.
Of course by "read" I'm sure we all mean "parse as a space"
The New Guy and Ozgression,
You guys just saved me some work.
Thanks,
Josh
Ok, I think I'll go ahead and replace the underscores.
Josh
Ok, let me get this straight. Google can not parse underscores as a space. So, that would mean that I will need to modify all of my image filenames as well since I tried to SEO them too. That's hundreds of file names I'll need change. I better get to work.
Josh
That's very valuable info. Never knew that. Looks like I've got loads of work to do now...Originally Posted by Chris
But is it worth that Chris? Changing file names of a huge load of pages which have some PR.. 1,2,3, .. What's your opinion here?
How valuable are those keyword separations in urls?

Josh,
Your site is a good idea and may be helpful, but only to the newbie webmasters.
IMO all the rest would leave almost instantly (unfortunately).
If you come up with an idea on how to make this site attractive to both newbies and experienced guys - this site can be a success.

Just get an automated program to mass change the file names--there's sure to be one somewhere.
And Google guy did say - is preferred, I believe.
Seems like he has changed his tune. Underscore will NOT be seen as a space.

I don't think he ever changed his tune, he's always said that as far as I know.
I don't think its worth it to change existing files though. Rather keep this in mind for new files.
I agree with Chris. Perhaps it is worth paying someone $0.10 per one they change (including doing a .htaccess thing so pr is transfered) but it's not worth doing it yourself.
