Is it OK to use hyphens in SEO?
Today's question, "Is it OK to use hyphens in SEO?" is one which has people jumping up and down each side of the SEO fence :-)
I use hyphens in website names, web page names and image names - and it's never hurt my Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) one bit. :-)
One of the top SEO organizations has confirmed that YES it is not only OK, but is preferred to use hyphens/dashes when naming URLs (website names), webpage names and image names.
