Today Matt Cutts video again, although the topic is a cliché but has been a hot spot in the SEO world: The difference between the dash and underline in the URL address.

Before the August 2007, Google said that they would treat the words separated by dashes and underscores in the URL address as separate words, but added that they were still modifying the algorithm, and that before the algorithm was modified, the words on either side of the dash would be treated as separate words, The words on both sides of the underline are connected to one word.

In today's video, Matt Cutts says their algorithms haven't been modified yet (why do they eat them?) and may never be modified. But webmasters don't have to worry, because even though Google treats underscores and dashes separately, their impact on rankings is minimal and does not affect rankings too much because they are one of the lesser determinants.

Bing has seen dashes and underscores as the same symbol from the start, and has never had any effect on the rankings.

So what exactly is the webmaster to do? If you are creating a new Web site with an important keyword on this page in the URL address, it is best to split each word with a dash rather than an underscore. But if your site is already underlined, you don't have to change to a dash, which will allow Bing and Google to be indexed again.
