I’m into making a new website but I need some advice for the Menu. This is a Menu that I want to use for a domain leatherhandbags.com (just an example here). The keywords are just examples, not the ones I will use for my site: Home Patent Leather Handbags Soft Leather Handbags Coach Leather Handbags Brighton Leather Handbags Leather Hobo Handbags Prada Leather Handbags Now my pages will be named like this: leatherhandbags.com/patent.html leatherhandbags.com/soft.html leatherhandbags.com/coach.html leatherhandbags.com/brighton.html leatherhandbags.com/hobo.html leatherhandbags.com/prada.html The Titles for the pages will be like this: Patent Leather Handbags Online – Patent Bags For Women Soft Leather Handbags Online – Soft Bags For Women Coach Leather Handbags Online – Patent Bags For Women Brighton Leather Handbags Online – Patent Bags For Women Hobo Leather Handbags Online – Patent Bags For Women Prada Leather Handbags Online – Patent Bags For Women The content of the site will be like 500 words articles for every page.

Is it better to have the Menu like this instead? Home Patent Soft Coach Brighton Hobo Prada That kind of Menu will make it much easier to have more keyword phrases in the content instead of the Menu. So what to prefer? I have seen many sites with long tail keywords in the Menu but for me it looks like a bit spammy. Here is one example: handbagheaven.com
For me i prefer long tail keywords for the chances of maximizing your words into a much stronger capacity.
in my part, I am into using keywords instead of keyphrases. It is more simplified and easy to promote. Just a tip – when writing your article, just include a few related keywords. A number of 3-5 that is. This is to cut-down the possibility of being keyword-stuffed.
