Only periods and commas? This seems like a fabricated reason not to use other unreserved characters as word separators. So Website URL “SPAMMERS” never use hyphens to separate words?

You may have answered this, but is it a SEO negative to use a database driven dynamically configured site with links like www.something.com/shop?cat=432? If so, I can redirect which is easy, but causes other problems(double click back and others), or rewrite the ASP for our major landing pages to be pages with out the arguments(a pain but doable). What do you suggest? Thanks/ I am about a month into SEO, inactive for a number of years, so I appologize for my lack of recent knowledge.

It is worth to spend few minutes thinking about the keywords we want to use in url, as they really affect results in SERP.

Especially the point about case-sensitive URL's. Not a lot of people know about that, but using Google Webmaster Tools --> Diagnosis --> HTML suggestions you'll find out soon enough if you've got any duplicate content because of that.

Its good to know hyphens are SEO friendly and looks better as well. Thanks! The space separator is the worst to use in filenames. Its good to know hyphens are SEO friendly and looks better as well.

Do you find that root/keyword/topic.html much better than root/topic.html? Ann, I see a lot of sites adding an extra subdirectory in the URL structure to get in a primary keyword.
