    url optimization has to do with how you structure your keywords in your url. For example say you have a page on your site you want to rank for "cat juggling"

    you would want your url to be something like: http://www.yoursite.com/cat-juggling/ not something like http://www.yoursite.com/page3

    Depending on what CMS you use will depend on how you set it up.

    Google prefers a - rather than a _ in urls instead of a space or the dreaded %20 characters!

    I often convert a site's URL structure as part of the initial on-site optimisation.

    URL Optimization is optimizing a URL with Guidelines of search engines. Creating keyword in the URL is better & limited to 100 characters. Refer the Mequoda which explains the URL optimization well.

    Hi,

    In my own experiences, URL optimization would relate to:
    1. using customer and SEO friendly static URLs or pseudo-static URLs for your sites and pages
    2. including mainly targeted keywords in the URLs or using them as your URLs according to the linked page contents would be really helpful for ranking purpose
    3. keeping your URL as short as possible

    all the best,

    many factors you should keep while optimizing the URL.

    1) Solve the Canonical issues. USE 301 permanent redirect to your site.

    2) Include Keywords in the URL.

    3) Use - in keywords.

    4) Use 100 characters in the URL

    5) Change the dynamic url into static. Google dont give much importance to dynamic URLs.
