How do search engines treat the hyphen in a web address. I am trying
to build a new website to sell baseball cards (which would be my
keyword).  My question is, do the search engines differenciate between
www.baseballcards.com and www.baseball-cards.com? Also, does it make any
difference if the words are reversed (i.e. www.cards-baseball.com.
