For example:

wrong:

http://www.example.com/index.asp?_prod138272=isp9872=498260

correct:

http://www.example.com/products/hats

Google recommends that you separate two or more words with a punctuation instead of squishing them together and use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) between them. For example do:

http://www.example.com/products/red-hat

instead of

http://www.example.com/products/redhat

or instead of

http://www.example.com/products/red_hat
