ArmandJackson 09-15-2005, 10:51 AM ...a domain name a good spam indicator? How about numbers in it too? Like: whyw8.com or even love2learn.com. Any input on such naming conventions? Joeychgo 09-15-2005, 10:57 AM Unless there are alot of dases, I dont think they mean anything. GuyFromChicago 09-15-2005, 11:20 AM Here's some additional information (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/dashes-vs-underscores/). Taking a quote from that link, here's the short answer to your question: "To answer a common question, Google doesn’t algorithmically penalize for dashes in the url." ArmandJackson 09-15-2005, 03:08 PM Cool. Thanks guys. woody 09-20-2005, 01:07 PM I haven't had any issues with search engines and my domain name either... ih8mud.com - even searching "i hate mud" in yahoo nets a #1 return. Michael 09-27-2005, 03:51 PM I use a dash in my domain name, but i dont think that it creates a undermining sense of site quality just because of that one character, and those who make that assumption certainly are being a little overanalytical.
