URL spacing help

[IceIcebaby]

Hi all, easy question:

I have a client URL...example.com/giftbags that has been indexed for a while. Should I change the URL to example.com/gift-bags to separate these words for better KW ranking, or would the change be useless at this point?

Thanks,

Hi Reed,

I would do this more from a usability point of view than for ranking increase. If you were to get any increase, it would be minimal. If the URL's were long (4, 5, 6+ words), then yes, it would make more sense, but something short like this will be fine either way.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate the quick responses. How long you been doing online marketing and SEO for?

You're welcome Reed.

I am into my 14th year now, although got my first taste of UX & Design back in 1997.

So much has changed!
