Imagine that you have a website for cell phones (e.g., cell-phones.com) Now, I'm using wordpress and everytime I create a page or post I try to use the phrase "cell phones" in the topic of the post such as: Cell Phones: Which Carrier Has The Best Coverage? Thus my url will be created and look like this: cell-phones.com/cell-phones-which-carrier-has-the-best-coverage Should I delete the second "cell-phones" in the url since the main url already has it? and should I delete words such as "how" "to" "has" "the", etc?
Hi i suppose you should delete "cell-phones" and make it "cell phones" not quite sure better approach a wordpress expert. Or submit any internal page link to bookmarking site and let it index by google then using any backlink checker see how it has indexed.
I think this practice looks both spammy and un-natrual. Adding your target keyword to the URL of every article will not help you rank for that keyword. Search engines nowadays are too smart to fall for it.
If your site is about cell phones, then you don't need "cell-phones" in the url. Plus you don't really need it in the title of the page either because the user knows that you are talking about.
Alright thanks guys ...I don't really have a website about cell phones, I was just using it as an example. I guess I'm going to edit a lot of my posts/pages so that it doesn't have the word repeated as part of the url.
One important thing to note these days is that search engines will rank you based on synonyms... so if you're using the terms "mobile phone" or "cellular" and point it toward your cell phone site, that will also help.
to the O.P: you should also remove words such as "how" "the" "why" etc because they wont be contributing to your site in anyway, in fact they may even damage your rankings (long tailed url)
