    My new site has been built to target multiple English speaking search engines. Accordingly, the pages have URLS such as mysite.com/en-us/page, mysite.com/en-gb/page and mysite.com/en-in/page.

    En-us is the default so that mysite.com/page forwards to mysite.com/en-us/page.

    The question is, which is the better link structure for US SEO, mysite.com/page or mysite.com/en-us/page? Or are both equally effective?

    Any insight on your thinking would be appreciated.

    I would also use en-us variant, but it could be a little bit hard to achieve it.. It depends on what language you wrote your website (I am talking about programming language!) ;)

    Hi kawinaorg,
    Here are the permalink rules that you must stick if you want to have a good on-page SEO:

    1. Use Simple permalink (domain.com/postname)
    2. Prefer dashes over underscore (Source)
    3. Remove stop words from permalink like (Is, are)
    4. Never change Permalink after publishing & if you do, setup a 301 redirection from old to new URL using .htaccess
    5. Use your Keyword in Permalink

    Hope it helps!
