Now All Engines Treat Underscores as Word Separators
Barry Schwartz, an SEO news guy, recently contacted all major engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask) and confirmed that now they all treat _ as word separators, similar to how - (dashes) are treated.
So, assuming we're being told the truth and all other factors being equal:
fucked_her_in_the_ass.html
will rank as well as
fucked-her-in-the-ass.html
Before, Google treated _ as a character, to be useful in searches like $_HTTP, $_REQUEST, $_SERVER, etc.
Personally, I still like dashes better than underscores.
