page names

[paul]

Hi all
Just wondering on page names if it makes a difference to search engines if your page is called

widgetsforsale.html

or

Widgets-for-sale.html
is their a preffered option for the spiders?

Thanks

Paul

AFAIK, page names will have little or no influence over the overall page ranking...but...

...as the hyphen is a seperator, bishbashbosh.html will be read as a single word, whilst bish-bash-bosh.html will be read as three seperate words and in the event that page names do come into the equation, this will obviously be preferable.
