SEO In Your Website URL

Have you seen websites that have a website URL that you do not know what the page will be about? Yes of course you do, and many more will be created because they (webmasters or web designers) do not know the importance of SEO. In order for your website to have the best web page being optimized for SEO, your URL should also be able SEO for the best result.

What is a URL?

URL is also called Uniform Resource Locator or previously known as Uniform Resource Identifier. You can read more about what is URL here.

Why would I recommend to use the URL in a SEO approach? There are 2 reasons why:

Reason 1 – The search engines like Google likes it when you can help them to find out what is the keyword you are targeting. Like on-page optimization for your web page, telling the search engines that the web page is relevant to what the online searchers are looking for in the same way, the URL that has the keyword for the web page will help you in the SEO for your web page.

Reason 2 – It will be easy for your online searchers to find out what your web page is about by looking at the URL. Take for example “www.YourDomainName.com/seo-webpage/”, you will see that the web page is talking about SEO webpage from the URL.

Another tip that can help you further increase your SEO in your web page using the URL is to create a folder named under the keyword you are targeting. For example if you are in the golf niche, there are other sub niche keywords of golf like “golf ball” or “golf club”. So in the end your URL will look like “www.YourDomainName.com/golfclub/howtoswingbetter/”, don’t you think that using this type of URL will further help the search engines and your online searchers know that whether the web page is what they are looking for.

Using Capital Letters For URL?

Most of the SEO website do not use capital letters in the first alphabet as it will be quite annoying to the human eyes, although it helps the readers to read better. Another way to further help your readers and search engines, is to add in a space. Instead of a space you add in a ‘horizontal bar’ to add as spacing between words, and the end result will look like this “www.YourDomainName.com/how-to-swing-better“. Don’t you think it looks better and more readable for you and your readers too?

So remember to do your keyword research first before you plan what your web page URL should be, make it easy for the search engines and readers, if you help them they will help you back, especially the search engines.
