    its just naming the page using keywords. for example if your webpage is about how to learn html then you can name that page as how-to-learn-html.html.

    scripted pages could use automated page naming process e.g. .htaccess etc.

    There are few point to remember while creating url.

    Domain name URL
    • Should contain your keyword as it make ranking some easier.
    • Its should not contain more than 2-3 word and should be small.
    • Should have proper extension,(i.e. .com. .org, .us, .edu) as per your organization of theme of site.

    Inner page URL
    • There should be proper direcotries like
    site.com/image/redrose/
    site.com/download/movie/latest/​
    • The inner page url keyword shold be related to the topic/content of page.
    • It should be easy to remember.

    There can be few more tips to create a better URL.

    Thks:)

    I suggest instead of stuffing the url with keywords, its better to have the "Post Title" as your url keeping in mind to remove nouns and adjectives like - in, the, as, was etc. I guess I could make it clear.

    So do u want to say whenever I build a website give its name accordingly. Suppose I want to build a website on web development, the name should be webdevelopmentcompany.com or.co.in etc or may be web-development-company.com or .co.in etc right! Unfortunately if they are not available. What should be done?

    Do not use 2-3 keywords in url. You can use your keyword in URL, which helps to ranking and idea about the page.

    Try to add the keywords in URL. Do not add any digital number in URLs. You can use it in title but in URL it is not good.

    Another example of URL optimisation would be like,

    Instead of having URLs such as;

    http://www.yourdomain.com/post/1237432591
    Code (markup):
    - Which talks about vintage baseball cards

    Optimise it to;

    http://www.yourdomain.com/post/vintage-baseball-cards.html
    Code (markup):
    Google also recognises the URL structure as part of the optimisation so having a well optimised URL can strengthen your prominent keyword/s for the said webpage.

    Please note that you should focus on your highest priority keyword. In the case of the domain, the highest priority keyword will be your company name, not "web development company". So it should be www."company name".com or co.in as you think the best.

    Url optimization is about making your static and dynamic URLs search engine friendly. Add your main keywords in the URL for both static and dynamic URLs. For dynamic url rewriting your will need to have knowledge about .htaccess file for Apache Server and configuring CP for IIS server. For static URL you can simply name your folders and files with keywords in it.

    For further you can refer to: mequoda.com/articles/increasing-website-traffic-articles/url-optimization-for-search-engines/ or can search on your favorite search engine about url optimization or url rewriting.

    Hello Friend
    If you have already a domain then you can do anything in it, if you are going to register a domain then you have to put your most targeted keywords in your url. And one more thing in URL optimization is that if you have a dynamic url then you have to convert it into static url to index easily.
    With the help of SEO you are able to increase online sale with a minimum time.
