Is it good to change blog url's or not?

2 replies
Hi, I have a question about blogs. I have been doing them for a while, but never know if I am doing it right or not for seo purposes.

If I make a post with the keyword being "dog grooming" but the title of my page is "dog grooming for the golden retriever", the blog will make the url for the page mysite.com/dog-grooming-for-the-golden-retriever

Should I leave it that way, or change it to mysite.com/dog-grooming

Thanks Glenn

    Leave it. It'll be good for long-tail [sic] keyword searches.

    Besides, if you shortened it, what would you do if you later wrote a post titled "dog grooming for the poodle"?

    Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

    Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.
