    SEO knows that effective search engine marketing depends on effective URL optimization. What is the use in having a great website if search engines cannot find it? You will never reach that highly sought after place at the top of the Search Engine Results Page. Unless that is, you know that all the URLs on your site have been carefully composed in a way that attracts search engine spiders like iron fillings to a magnet. This is where SEO online marketing experience and knowledge can help. We will effectively enhance your site to draw maximum relevant traffic to it from the search engines

    URL optimization is making the use of common keywords in your urls. So for example you have example.com/p=3593?92306, if you will optimize this then the url will look like example.com/food-recipe etc. Have a look in this artcile - onsite seo.

    Short, descriptive urls are optimal. It is very important the url for your webpage contains your keyword phrase and is no longer than 100 characters.

    If the keywords of category names is very popular, i suggest you could add the category names in your URL, or else, you could don't get the three steps URL.

    just found this "Length of the URL: no more than 3-5 words in your URL. According to Google’s Matt Cutts if there are more than 5 words…
    [Google] algorithms typically will just weight those words less and just not give you as much credit.”

    but if your secondary folders have four words, and your folders that hang off that have four or five, will you be penalized?

    For instance, in joomla with seo function turned on, it just takes the title words and makes a url, But the title is most likely going to be written for humans, so you need to remove or ad words so only the main keywords (that are different from the words in the rest of the url, remain.

    I get that long urls will have diminishing effect, but not none. And major newpapers online seem to just allow the title to convert to the url, so I cant see that it would massively hurt to have four in each sub folder on your site: such as:

    yoursite. com/ key1-key2-key3/ key4-key5-key6-key7

    I read that humans may not like to click on this, but you will find that in google serps they abbreviate the link anyway, so unless you are looking at the bottom of the screen for the full extension, so what?

    its not exactly keyword stuffing when you just abbreviate the article keys (key4 onwards) to include unique but keywords related directly to what is in the article.

    URL Optimization is one of the most important online optimization technique.One of the ways search engine optimization experts bring their sites to the top of the search engines with minimal efforts is by purchasing domains that contain keywords in them. Once you have your main URL you can then start optimizing your page URLs, which are the web addresses of the pages on your site. The best way to optimize your page URLs for the search engines is to make sure your targeted keywords are in the URL of the page.Separating multiple keywords in URL using hyphens will make it easier for search engines to understand your URL structure and exactly when it starts and when it ends for each keyword.But avoid using more than 3 hyphens, keep only keywords in URL. And remove all numbers and words such as “the”, “of”, “in”, “your” and etc.Don’t have more than 3 subdirectories in any URL.

    Hi Friend,

    A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is the name of your web page which appears in a web browser's address bar. URL's are used by search engines as an identifier for your web page. They also store the URL in their index as one of the ways they determine the subject matter of a web site.

    The first part of a URL consists of a domain name, like "www.impliedbydesign.com". The second part of the URL consists of the filename, or something like "/seo-optimization-article.html".

    Url optimization is ensuring that your url has the keyword that you are trying to match in it, i.e. an EMD (Exact Match Domain)
