4.http://www.100percentile.com/iitjee/.jsp

and are they make any difference?

 

You are talking about the home page?

Anyway, URL don't make much difference when it comes to ranking in search results. The real thing that matters is the number of back links and the amount of new content that you add in your site.

 

What are the keywords you're going after? Despite what angilina says, having a keyword in the domain is *helpful* but not a critical element in getting a site ranked.

Looks like #2 is the seo friendliest url

 

rohit_tripathi60,
IMO:
2. (I cant post the url yet do to my restrictions) Number 2.
I am assuming you mean google? MSN has been rumored to favor .aspx and urls similar to their own search engine.

It has been my experience that urls off the root like number 2, more often than not, for whatever reasons, outperform. It has also been my experience, that click-thrus can be increased if the search query matches the filename, even partially. so altho it may or may not help rankings, it seems to help click thrus.

In conclusion, it has been my experience that shorter urls, off the root, with the keyphrase in the filename may help the most.

 

Played with this as well on my sites and my conclusion is also that nr 2 ranks the best.

 

Directory of the shorter, the better!

 

I like do not agree with this...

Of course you have to improve and add content but sometimes, you can reach #1 in Google just by changing the title of your site.

 

less the unwanted characters the more better it is

btw do you own that website ; just wanted to say thanks , i had calculated my aieee score from their

 

Shorter is better for your home page. Subpages I would load with keywords.

example: mydomain.com/keyword1_keyword2.html

 

Many sites, i have found that there is no any seo word used in URL, although they ranked for the first position for the particular keyword,
I will not mention over here an example but you can find that by searching in Google.

"seo company australia"

See the first result.

 

sheds,

of course.

but just because you have found that, does not mean that it nullifies everything else. there are a multitude of ranking factors. keyword in the url has very little effect overall (some, none probably) in todays market (as compared to 5 years ago, i would be saying something else here).

keyphrase prominence (in the domain, filename, outside the html at the top of the page, early in the html) has greatly dropped as a factor in onpage optimization.

but it still may have a small effect on some queries on some engines, and may influence USER behaviour. It has been my experience that the keyphrase in the domain or filename results in increase clickthrus.

other's experience may be the opposite i suppose.

 

The shorter it is and with keywords the better

 

currently google weighs keywords in the domain name weigh heavier than directories, sub domains, and file names, if I am not mistaken. keywork rich URLs help but it is only one signal.

 

Hi,
Not sure I got what you mean, but just index as it is default page for the world wide.
