It's been 48 hours since I changed e-mail to email and the winner is "email". It seems the google will search for both "e-mail" and "email" when "email" is used in the search string. However, it will only search for "e-mail" when "e-mail" is used in the search string. Based on this I will stop using the dash when I write the word email.

On a related note, I found google has index the wrong page on my site when searching the phrase "Masking Addresses to Prevent Email Harvesting". It has indexed the page www.whitepeaksoftware.com/blog.aspx?xml/2005_06_01_archive.xml but I assumed it would have indexed the page http://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/archive/2005/06/25/masking_addresses_to_prevent_email_harvesting.aspx. Go figure.

Also, I wonder how google will index my blog entries given that each entry is available from thecave.com and whitepeaksoftware.com. Time will tell.

Do you need something better to do with your time?
