    Spaces in the URL

    300.000 Free softwares download here
    Is it bad to have spaces in the URL? I'm using a CMS and there's only so much I can do. Some of the URLs will have a space but in the URL appearing on the browser, it'll have +. I've seen websites with similar URLs, . What are your thoughts on this?
    More Information:
    1. When creating a web page or web folders you should always avoid using spaces between each word
    2. Note that it's not necessary to convert space characters to %20; simply putting quotes around the whole URL to protect the spaces from becoming field separators
    3. Attempting to invoke a helper application via an HTML link or Internet Explorer address bar with a URL of the form "
    4. As an alternative, how do I filter the user input when providing values for this column so that it will eliminate the spaces, if any? Thanks in advance
    5. Post subject: Re: spaces in URL -> twitter fail

    Why would you want to have spaces in the URL??



    If you really wanted to separate words, you could always use a dash -



    But I just don't see the point, search engines couldn't care less about it

    it has spaces because of how the CMS works. I can't really help it but I'm trying to work around it. It just seems like something that hurts SEO since the URL gets messy with the different symbols.
