    Does anybody know what shall I put in the URL to target "keyword1 keyword2" term when keyword1 is already the domain name?

    Another words, which URL will get better ranking in the search for "keyword1 keyword2": keyword1.com/keyword2 or keyword1.com/keyword1-keyword2 ?

    What about keyword1keyword2.com/keyword3 vs. keyword1keyword2.com/keyword1-keyword2-keyword3 for "keyword1 keyword2 keyword3" term?

    thanks

    I think you would get the biggest boost by having both of the keywords in your domain name. Then all of your backlinks have your target keywords. Having the keywords in the url helps too, but likely not as much as in the domain. I don't think it would help much to repeat keywords in your urls. In the end, rankings mostly come down to quality of backlinks. So it doesn't matter too much which format you use. Any of those formats will help you. Focus more on offpage optimization than onpage.
