Tastatura - Thanks for that link. Not exactly the same subject, but certainly related, and an excellent discussion.

I'm beginning to think I see where JackR might be going with this, and I'm going to quote his example, with some emphasis added....

Red Widgets–Red Widget Supplier (no spaces) Red Widget – Red Widget Supplier Red Widget ¦ Red Widget Supplier Red Widget : Red Widget Supplier

A while back, we had a discussion about the hyphen character, and I noted that the hyphen no longer seems to be treated exactly as a space. See...

Google search and the dash "-" character
What effect does a hyphen have on Google caching and search
[webmasterworld.com...]

I had assumed that the hyphen would be treated the same as a space in Google searches, but that wasn't quite the case. I noted that serps for two-words hyphenated and two words spaced are slightly different.

That would suggest, in the riddle that I'm assuming JackR might be posing, that his first example (with no spaces) is the least good of the four results, and the three remaining would please Google more. I still wouldn't make any distinction among the rest, but JackR might have something up his sleeve.
