    Hey everyone,

    I've a couple of articles on this subjects already (including on this website) but there tend to be very mixed opinions. I would like to have some final thoughts and answers on this question.

    Which page would most likely rank higher in the search results: (example)


    - www.chicago-tourism.com/hotels-chicago.html
    OR
    - www.chicago-tourism.com/hotels.html

    But, in case of the first URL, assume that this is not the only page that uses the keyword twice, but almost every page uses it twice: events-chicago.html, chicago-parking.html, restaurants-chicago.html --- OR should I just use events.html, parking.html and restaurants.html?

    Who has experience on this specific issue and can tell me what I should do?


    Thanks in advance,
    StrugglingSEO
