    3. To clarify pretty_flowers.htm & pretty%20flowers.htm are seen as prettyflowers.htm by the search engine whilst pretty-flowers.htm is seen as pretty-flowers.htm making it two keywords plus a phrase. Read more about it from the Google Engineer Matt Cutts. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores/ of course one can always do one's own testing to confirm <smiles> This is just one aspect of seo ..... but every aspect makes up the whole. If your page is (not site) but the page you are working on or interested in ... is indexed ... except for having a space do not change the nam, if it has a space and is indexed change it, if you must then use a 301 redirect ....if you cannot then wipe the page of content and leave a link to the new page with some good keyword anchor text. (don't forget to change the internal link throughout the site to the new one and on your sitemap) hth Tina http://www.expression-web.net - Expression Blog http://any-expression.com/ - Expression Web Help http://frontpage-to-expression.com/ - Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web twitter.com/ @tinaclarke @expressionweb
