URL keywords are the words you place in a page’s web address to signal its topic to both search engines and the people clicking on your links. Done well, they reinforce your content’s relevance, support click-through rates in search results, and make your site architecture legible at a glance. Done poorly, or ignored entirely, they…
URL keywords are the words you place inside a page’s web address to signal its topic to search engines and users. A URL like /url-keywords/ tells Google what the page is about before a single word of content is read, and it tells users whether the link they are about to click is worth their…
