Best to use underscores to separate the words in the name of my store that will show as the URL? or best to let the words run together? Or is there really any difference? What is best advantage for the URL and how you are seen on the internet?

The underscore or a dash makes a url look cheap, IMO. Although I do have a few...lol.
But I now mash them all together and then capitalize the first letter of each word to make it slightly more readable. ie... www.PacifierCityCards.com If someone were to copy that exactly, it still lands on the site, even though the url, actually is www.pacifiercitycards.com.
Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

I've done both in the past, now I just let the words run together. People rarely look a the store URL and it will be much easier for you and users (if they do use it) to just be able to add a single word minus underscores. You can write your store name in more user-friendly terms on your store page.
