Google treats hyphens ( – ) as spaces. Google does not treat underscores ( _ ) as spaces.
Because of this, the string “web_developer” will not show up in a search for ‘web developer’, but the string “web-developer” will show up in that search.
The end result is that hyphens are much better, from an SEO perspective, than underscores. This rule seems to hold true for use in text, in file names, and in domain names.
However, URL’s without hyphens do look more professional. Hyphens are typically fine in certain contexts but when you start stringing them out with more than three words or three phrases it can get cumbersome. Hyphenated domain names work with targeted key word campaigns and search engine spiders. If that is the purpose of the site or domain, then the hyphens are fine. If your marketing intention are to create a brand or a remembered domain, then hyphenless domains work best.
