When you put a hyperlink without using anchor text, the auto-underline attribute makes the URL "appear" as it's got a space as apposed to an underscore. For example (not sure if it hyperlinks here) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization So that's the other reason i like dashes.

Especially when it comes to naming pages/sub-folders on a site. In the domain name I prefer to go without if possible and have one word. Google still seems to pick each word up individually and the shorter the name the better! The dashes just make the name longer and more diluted. Good article… it’s definitely all about the dashes!
