Is it better to use a dash or an underscore in file names to improve SEO? EX memory_flash.jpg or memory-flash.jpg

Or does it make no difference?

Use dashes. Underscores don't specify any specific function whereas dashes are specifically word separators.

In the end it wouldn't matter that much but I would also prefer using dashes as well.
