Underscores Are Now Word Separators, Proclaims Google by my2cents(m): 2:28pm On Jul 25, 2007
As most of you may know, google only accepted dashes as word separators. In other words, if you 2 file names, "naira-land.html" and "naira_land.html", google would read the former, for SEO purposes as "nairaland.html" and the latter as "naira land (note the intentional space).html".

Now, apparently, google now (or will very soon) accepts underscores as word separators.

This will be especially helpful to webmasters whose websites are based on Mediawiki e.g. the Wikipedia.
