"One key development that Matt shared with the audience was that
underscores in URLs are now (or at least very soon to be) treated as
word separators by Google." - June 2007

Underscores currently (2008) work [result as spaces] only with [URLs] FILE names & domains.

Clarification: if you search for an underscore = exact results from
page content. if you search for a multiword phrase with spaces = you
can now find that phrase in an URL with underscored "word separators"
in addition to dashes (only since late 2007).

BOTH domains bolded in Google SERPs.

Has been discussed a gazillion times: the bolding is just a highlighting
technique.

It's "highlighted" BECAUSE it IS a "match".

I'm here to help the OP, not to tutor amateurs.

Too many hyphens has been called blackhat.

There is nothing black-hat (oops sorry) about hyphens.

Blackhat is used when trying to "cheat" a search engine.
There is nothing cheatish about splitting words to help
search engines read words in a domain and/or file name.
Thus hyphens aren't blackhat. It is at most unnecessary.
(Thus possibly infinitely minutely negative for ranking. )

I can just as easily say it is black-hat not to hyphen.
Afterall, hyphens can ease readability in some cases.
See the point? Hyphens are neither white or black.

Ofcourse, if you overdo it insanely, then sure, it may
count negative. But still not black-hat in and by itself.

asking you privately to ACT RIGHT is hardly abusive. your ad hominem
attack, slander, libel and lies don't make you any more qualified to
help the OP OF THIS THREAD (not to mention your "abusive" publishing
of my personal information in an intentional attempt to harm me). this
tool would be much more valuable if immature people like yourself
weren't diluting informational posts with your royal worthlessness.
try to stay on topic please - if you remember what it was...

Don't insult me when you have yet to post a single fiber of
intelligence in this entire thread.
