When naming files how should it be done and how does google see it ?

e.g keyword.php is fine for a single keyword but for duplicate keywords how does it work ?

e.g

keyword_keyword.php
keywordkeyword.asp

any help would be appreciated .

Regards

Do a search for your keyword phrase and see what type of file names come up. from there its your choice.

Always avoid spaces and underscores in filenames.

I always avoid runningwordstogether. They are unreadable.

Go all lower case.

I use dots between words.

Others prefer hyphens, colons, or commas.

keyword_keyword.php
keywordkeyword.asp

/keyword-keyword
/keyword/keyword

I use dots between words.

g1smd, don't forget the disclaimer now that goes along with dots. ;)

when is an underscore better than hyphens in naming files or URLs?
