pizza_dough -- will only get a direct hit on "pizza_dough"
pizza-dough -- wil get hits for both PIZZA and DOUGH



I've bookmarked this thread bro ... great job!
hyphens & underscores alternatively have different algorithms for certain site values being entertained by the spidering.

For domains, the spiders prefer keyword-keyword.tld

But, for media I see keyword_keyword.file gets better rankings in google image & video search results.
