It used to be that google preferred the hyphen (-) to the underscore (_) when it came to page names.
So www.yourdomain.com/page-name-here.html was seen more favourably than www.yourdomain.com/page_name_here.html when it came to listings and positioning.
That’s all changed, and now it makes no difference which one you use – Google treats them both the same.
(We’d recommend sticking to one or the other though, rather than mixing them, for the sake of clarity)
For a long time I used Google Analytics to provide webstats for me and for my clients – and it worked. Great stats, pretty graphs, nice figures – everything I needed.The problem I had was that I couldn’t get real time stats – I had to wait until the next day, by which time in some cases it was too late to react to surges in traffic.
