    Hi, guys, does Google list or penalize or ignore URLs with hyphens or underscores? Are underscores better than hyphens?

    No SEO advantage either way so you need to look at this question from both an aesthetic and practical standpoint. Hypens are more easily readable with lines that don’t blend in to other lines. There is a substantial percentage of CSS formatting that has poor line-height coding (in my opinion) and I am constantly seeing hyperlinks that are confusing because of it. Just my observation.

    Hyphens are the standard practice for URLs.No underscores

    Dont use underscores as those are usually used as filters and such, and can confuse search engines
