Whats better? Hyphens or underscores in URLs?

[gavinmcnamee]

What is the best policy when separating words in URLS? Is it using hyphens or underscores? Or just joining the words up?

Is there any other options available?

This subject has been much-discussed here, and the short answer is "hyphens."

Try this search [google.com] for (much) more information. (1,470 matches on WebmasterWorld alone) :)

Thanks JD.

It never crossed my mind to search the forums...stupid me! Ahh...I now see the benefits of the search.

Cheers
