URL Structure

Google recommends using hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in URL names.
 
Good day! I agree with edwina. In Addition to that, Google treats a hyphen as a word separator while underscore as word joiner.
 
Today we are going to discuss creating a website url structure which is search engine friendly and adds to the usability of your website/blog.
 
Using hyphens(-) rather than underscores(_) in url makes it much easier for search engine to know about your page. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator but does not treat an underscore that way. If your url is http://www.example.com/on_page_tips then Google treats it same as /onpagetips.
 
I also suggest you hypen(-) as SE also suggest the same. When we use hypen search engine read it separate word but using underscore makes it single word for SE.
