Hyphen in URL

Using hyphens to separate words in the URL would be more SEO-friendly. Also maybe more human readable too.

Closed as off topic, should be on [webmasters.se].

Interesting idea. I know no SEO, so I'm unsure of the impact. The point of having no separators in the URL is to make it easy to type. But then, we have redirects, so it doesn't matter much. Interested in more feedback on this.

Using hyphen to separate words improves SEO as search engines can interpret distinct words independently.

Blog software uses this, and using hyphens to separate words is a common SEO practice.

It also makes reading the URLs easier for humans.
