Underscores vs. dashes in URLs

User Comments

Dan Sullivan commented on 16 Sep 2011

Mr. Cutts, Thank you for taking the time to explain what Google does with _ and -. However, I'm a Cuttlet who would rather see the _ used as a separator and joiner in the url. Index both. For years I've made pages with _ in the url for the same reason the original Google kids made _ a join operator. Because I write my code like that. I really only care about it in the url. My urls are helpful to the user's experience. A keyword in the url should be worth at least as much as in an H3 tag IMHO.

sKIPper76M commented on 20 Aug 2011

PLEASE UPVOTE There is also a usability problem with having underscores in URLs. Since URLs are generally displayed with an underline, an underscore in the URL could potentially get "lost" in the user's eyes. Thus, that underscore may be perceived as a space. This may be not be a problem if the user just needs to click on the URL (wherein the perception whether its an underscore or space doesn't matter), but it may be a problem in cases such as dictating the URL to a friend over a phone, etc.

Scott Miller commented on 25 Apr 2013

Bug; You're thinking of domain names, yes? Traditionally only 37 characters have been allowed in domain names: a-z, 0-9, and -. Upper or lower case is irrelevant in the domain name. Some phrases should never have their spaces removed. For example: penisland (net) -> pen-island, speedofart (com) -> speed-of-art, are real sites with unfortunate names. More people should use that hyphen. BTW, China (and other countries) want domains with the full unicode set.

Ivan Ooze commented on 04 Jul 2015

So, basically, instead of incorporating some kind of override or countermeasure purposed to alleviate potential confusion, such as searching for underscored terms in quotes or providing a colon function to specify a search for wildcard text, you decided to keep this outdated method of searching as part of your core search functions? With no alternative options, nonetheless? A brief moment while we search for any remaining common sense here.

guggelheim commented on 02 Aug 2012

Reasons why underscore is better than hyphen to separate words in friendly urls: 1. It's much more readable 2. "Nineteenth- and twentieth‑century writers" becomes "Nineteenth--and-twentieth‑century-writers". In some languages, fe. finnish the hyphens are used extensively to join words together. (see Wikipedia article for hyphen for more examples) Being a finn, I'm not too happy about Google forcing me to use the ugly hyphens.

Michael Muryn commented on 18 May 2012

If we talk about URL (and even in code), we do use underscore mostly as a word separator, don't we? The fact that both words are tight together is just another data about these value, and this rule should also apply to hyphens which is also used to "join words". Actually from what I read "dashes" and "hyphens" are different thing and people really type hyphens from what I understand. I repeat, hyphens are used to "join words".

Michael Muryn commented on 05 Sep 2013

Paradoxically with the historic reason, lot of developers are used to use underscore to separate keyword, so it is/was more likely that they use the same pattern to name their resource/filename. However, with all the SEO talk, hyphen gained the popularity contest. Without that, we would see more underscore in URLs. Only potential valid reason for hyphen would be that it is easier to type/read for non-techy (?)

Mark Warner commented on 18 Aug 2011

Could I suggest that you add an option in webmaster tools "split on underscore". By default this is off. So if you are one of the idiot "underscore" webmasters like me you can opt in. This should then mean that the project to split is really a lot simpler to implement in respect of checking for webwide impact etc. You'll be producing better quality results! Smart idea eh? Regards, Mark

guggelheim commented on 27 Aug 2012

Lovely. I hope you understand that calling anyone retarded makes you sound like one. Unless of course you're thirteen years of age or under. It's simple really. With dashes you lose the possibility to revert a friendly url back to it's exact original form as the dash character gets a double meaning (it can be a space or a dash). With underscore you don't lose that information.

Grover Saunders commented on 17 Aug 2011

Let's be clear, this is a well made, helpful video. That said... So you're inherently disadvantaging any CMS that uses underscores in its URLs by indexing things in a confusing, arbitrary way because of a programming decision make over two decades ago. And since fixing it hasn't been a priority for over two decades, it probably never will be. Just making sure we're clear.

Michael Muryn commented on 18 May 2012

Idea to index the parts AND the sum (i.e. tmp, max, tmp_max for "tmp_max") is interesting. Idea to let the webmaster define how their website URL are defined are interesting for a "search engine" point of view (would prefer a global standard to define this, rather than Google only). I am sure, at least I hope, some people at Google have thought of these ideas already.

eXtressIT Lotta Gustafsson commented on 26 Aug 2015

THIS ALSO EFFECTS SEARCHING IN GOOGLE APPS DRIVE! FILES WITH UNDERSCORE DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE SEARCH RESULT. Funny though they appear in Autocomplete but not later in the searchs result list. This is very disturbing and I cannot find any information that it will com a change and now we are writing 26 August 2015!

Ashley Sheridan commented on 17 Aug 2011

@polyglut Yeah I agree. It's terrible when a company has a service and then tells us how to make best use of it. It's as bad as those help pages for all the software on my computer. How dare they tell me how to use it, now other people are going to be more productive than me because they are reading the same docs.

Michael Muryn commented on 18 May 2012

I don't think people should adapt to Google, but Google should find way to get the most out of content about real usage (and it probably does on most point). People should however do the "right" thing, and that is where I would support Google, but then I have to be convinced it is the "right" thing. ;-)

Andreas Belivanakis commented on 03 Apr 2013

Dashes instead of underscores is a no-brainer. The real question is, dashes, or no dashes? In other words, is redwidgets better than red-widgets? And does the correct answer (if there is one) depend on whether the dash or no dash term is in the domain itself, versus a folder or filename?

Michael Muryn commented on 05 Sep 2013

Keep in mind that it is the search engines that should adapt to find good websites and not otherwise. Do thing right and they should find you. Of course in practice, we cannot wait for Google to fix their low-priority tasks and we want to take advantage of every tiny bit of SEO.

1Source SEO Houston commented on 15 Aug 2013

I was looking for the answer to which one was better UNDERSCORES vs DASHES and this video seemed to sum it up pretty quick. Matt indicates dashes are better but if you already have lots of URLS with underscores, don't bother to go back and change them. Thanks for the advice.

Spook SEO commented on 05 Nov 2013

Thanks Matt for the valuable instruction!!! Although dashes in the URls play a crucial role in the SEO prospect, it’s not recommended for the sites already have indexed on search engine. However, use dashes instead of underscores for new sites for better ranking impact.

Cristian Herrera Vasquez commented on 25 Oct 2011

Please Google, do not use _underscore as a separator, we have lost "define:" operator in searches and I still miss the time when I could search for strings in a back-trace and find relevant information that has helped find a solution..

Barry I. Grauman commented on 26 Sep 2015

It was also used intact at the end of "Hollywood, Here I Come", where Wilma tricks Fred into regaining his voice by pretending to have purchased a $5000 mink coat {"I knew you wouldn't mind.....so I CHARGED it."/"mmmm.....MMMMM.....MMGMGGMMM......WIL-MAAAAA!!!!!!! ARE YOU OUTTA' YOUR MIND???? YA' THINK I'M MADE OF MONEY OR SOMETHING???? SEND IT BACK, BEFORE I SUE THE STORE FOR SELLIN' IT TO YA'!!!!!"}.

That's the original "FLINTSTONES" theme, "Rise and Shine" (used during the first two seasons).

Andrew Vickers (andrewvickers1992) commented on 23 May 2015

Didn't Hanna Barbera re use this music on other shows? The music sounds like it also belonged on Yogi Bear

Barry I. Grauman commented on 26 Sep 2015

THEY SURE DID! These cues were virtually interchangeable throughout their cartoon series of the 1960's {except for "JONNY QUEST").

The "Exterminating Common jQuery Bugs" shows the presentation, but the beginning of this one is not. I'm sure this will be as excellent as the other presentation, I'm searching for the slide deck now.

Another Coder commented on 03 Feb 2013

Yes seems pretty lame and pointless to post a video where you can't see the slides the least you can do is share them

Elijah Manor commented on 06 Apr 2013

The slides are owned by my previous employer and they were never publicly made available. Sorry about that

Csaba Toth commented on 22 Aug 2012

Seems like I just wasn't patient enough and the slides are shown approx. from 3 mins?

No worries Elijah, there's enough material on your blog to study.

in gameplay, at about 20 seconds into the underscore, does anyone else notice and get creeped out by the bell sound that plays? i think it is from nuketown zombies.

can you find the round end underscore and stuff? It would be really cool to hear just the creepy piano music

The first 20 seconds or so are the loading screen. After that it's mixed with a new song.

Yapostadodat commented on 17 Feb 2015

The use of African and South American vibes and percussion is SO important to the sound of this music and the lively tone of the cartoon in general, it's amazing.

Ray Pointer commented on 16 Feb 2013

It's not in the Public Domain. It is the property of Time-Warner. The life of the composer is not the issue since it was work for hire and is corporately owned.

1:08 it's clear he was trying to reference "The Irish Washerwoman" but why wouldn't he or the director use it directly if it was PD?

kitschbonbon commented on 01 Sep 2012

Good question. I'm never sure exactly what relates to 50 year-old recordings V.S. 50 years after the death of the composer.

kitschbonbon commented on 26 Jul 2012

Indeed! Some cues were used in many of Hanna-Barbera's cartoons! That's why they are such a big part of our childhood!

Barry I. Grauman commented on 01 Dec 2011

Hanna-Barbera later "reworked" the cue at 2:48 (orignally used for "THE JETSONS") into the "Josie" theme in 1970.

kitschbonbon commented on 26 Jul 2012

Wow, you're right! I never made the connection! Well, I'm glad he just made his own tune because I like it better!
