How to write keywords in the URL on a good way?

I have a site(globalicwarming.com) that I write lots of content to right now. Since the content I recently pulled up havn't been indexed recently(have just been there a few days) I wonder if it would be a good thing to skip, mentioning "global" and "warming" two times in the URL.

Instead of having an article URL like this(when my keyword is: global warming statistics): globalicwarming.com/global-warming-statistics.html

I wonder if it would be better to have it like this: globalicwarming.com/statistics.html

What is the best choice?

 

i know what you mean, sometimes I get abit paranoid that google will banned me as soon as they see a word used twice in the url!

 

As I see it, folders and files can be called whatever you want, just don't repeat words too often and keep the folder/file-names down to 3-4 key words related to the page content.

Make it look good for your users - if you have your keyword in the domain then you get no extra benefit from having it in the filename.

 

getting you main keywords in the url is good.

 

^^ yes, but will it do better if it is twice?

 

No, can you think of any reason why it would?

 

Well if I just call it article.html it could be an article about anything, but if I write global_warming_article.html, the keyword global warming article is reserved.

 

But you already have global warming in the domain name so you don't need it in the filename.

 

Um - I notice the use of underscores. Google has seemed to prefer dashes instead of u_scores on my site.
Thus global-warming-article rather than global_warming_article.

Any comments?

 

Dashes or nothing at all is best ie global-warming or globalwarming.

An underscore can be part of a search string and is not counted as a space. Nobody will ever search for global_warming so don't use the underscore.
