URLSDoes it really matter if you use keywords in URLS to improve search engine rankings?Should you use your keywords in the URLs of your web pages? Do search engines look at the words that are included in the addresses of your web pages and do these words have an effect on the rankings of your website?When I was trying to decide what the URL for this website would be I had already learned something from the website builder that I used to build this site. Their extensive knowledge and experience helped me realize that it would be to my advantage is I could somehow include a keyword in my url that would describe the theme of my sites content. Google's statement about keywords in URLs
Google's Matt Cutts recently posted a video about the position of keywords in the URL of a web page. He said that key words in the URL do help a little bit.He also said that one should not obsess with the order of the words and that you should not use too many key words in the same URL. Yahoo's statement about key words in URLs Yahoo filed a patent application with the name " Techniques for Tokenizing URLs " that has been published on March 26th. The patent application contains information on how search engines might extract keywords from the "URLs" of pages. Search engines look at many different web page elements to determine what a page is about. Most keywords are extracted from the content of the web pages but search engines can also consider the "URL" of a web page to find related keywords. Yahoo's patent shows in detail how keywords can be extracted from URLs. That's a strong indicator that Yahoo also considers the keywords in "URLs". What does this mean for your website?
