My real question is do the underscores have an impact on how the spider crawls the site or are long file names better? I"m thinking it doesn"t matter but would like to be sure. I"ve been trying to name my pages (filename & title) with a relevant keyword but sometimes it"s difficult. Also does a file name have any impact with ranking at all?
