    Hi,
    How much weightage is given to SEO Friendly URL's by SERP's listing in google.

    I want to know from people's experience, Does it really help and affects position of website in google SERP's .

    If yes what is weightage ? Based on your experience

    I am asking this because i really want to know based on people's experience and not theory. Should it be counted or stressed as part of SEO Strategy

    Thanks

    It certainly helps, but you need to concentrate on other on-page and off-page activities too. Sites with dynamic URL's also performing well in search engines. So it depends upon seo strategy.
    BTW, i found you have used "_" in URL structure. its better to use "-" to separate keywords in URL structure as well as there are some pages URL contains ID and nos. which should be removed.

    They do not have huge impacts on the rankings of sites because they are among the on page factors, and if that was the case, many blogs that have thousands of posts would be at the top of Google and Yahoo but in reality they are not.

    a few years ago search engine friendly urls had a great impact but not any more as more and more sites are going dynamic.

    For a new keyoword that im going for its everything at the moment, although i think in a few months time it will sort it self out. I dont think its such a big factor over time, in the short term (for a new keyword) it certainly does help alot

    having seo friendly domain i.e ur keywrd in domain really matters for following 2 reasons:

    1) when ur site will get a backlink from directory listings as www.domain.com...if u hav targeted keywrd in domain, it will automatically work as a backlink with keywrd rich anchor text..no need to be obsessed with anchor texts ne more

    2) abov will definitely help u get the top search rankings for ur keywrd...thereafter when ull be in top search ranking, a keywrd will b highlighted in domain name in SERP snippets as an exact match..making it felt more trustworthy for visitors..high click through rate..win win 4u

    same applicable for sub-directory urls:)
