    hi, i wanna ask you is it's ok to have repetable keywords in url or not.

    Example:
    What is better for search engines?
    domain.com/business.html
    or
    domain.com/online-business-american-business-directory-business.html
    or
    domain.com/online-business/american-business/directory-business.html


    that is your opinion?
    (maybe you are an SEO guru) :) thanks!

    Hello,

    I'm not an SEO guru, but I did see a video lately where Matt Cutts talked about this.
    Matt Cuts does not recommend keyword stuffing in the URL.
    See the following movie on the Google Webmaster Help Youtube channel.

    Kind regards,

    Thats the best of those listed but I (and Google) suggest that your directory structure should have a bearing on you site structure and content. Also, dont create subdirectory after sub-dir simply to use your keywords.

    There are much more important factors to ranking than having keywords in the URL.

    Repeating the same keyword in url is some what looks like stuffing.

    I don't think it will help you repeating the "business" word, one time in the URL is good but 3 times as you did there, anyway it won't hurt you.
