A URL Question - How Long Is TOO Long
Ive been doing some keyword research for a specific niche and ive found some great long tail keywords.
One of them gets a suprisingly high number of searches [exact] and its a buying keyword if you like so i thought the url would already be taken but its not.
BUT, the keyword is 8 words long
and although a good few of the words are only 2 and 3 letters long, the url looks wrong to me. keywordkeywordkeyword.com etc just looks a mess because of the 8 words and keyword-keyword-keyword etc looks far too long.
Maybe thats why the url is available, i dunno.
Ive tried shortening it with fewer words but the searches drop for all results apart from 1 but that url is already taken across all extensions.
Maybe i should just get the .info and do some testing
Does anybody have a specific general rule of thumb they go by as far as how long or many words their url should be?
