Ok guys, I am raring to go to start applying what I have learned in the courses. Starting from the top with URL's, from what I understand the HOME page url should only contain the domain name but each other page should have www.Yourdomain.com/targetkeyword is that right? If yes, so I would need to use only one best kw for each page's service but how long should that kw be please?

    Hi Mike, Yes, You should use www.Yourdomain.com/targetkeyword format in your inner pages. And you have to decide which service you are going to taget on that page. According to that target max search volume keyword in long tail format on that page. And as per my suggestion, you should cover your keyword under 25charcters. That is the best character limit which is consider by Google and Other Search Engines. Thanks, Abhishek

      Thanks but sorry I am not understanding that part above from your answer, can you explain in any other way please to make sure I fully understand what you're telling me please? I have a separate page for each service here: Computer Repair | Just another WordPress site

    Hi Mike, http://pcandnetservices.com/services/virus-repair/ is having proper naming style and other thing what Google and other search engines require. But when I am checking other pages like: http://pcandnetservices.com/data-recovery/ those are not correct. So 1st make them in this style http://pcandnetservices.com/services/data-recovery/. And when I am checking you website at that time your website speed is very slow. So make it fast and transfer your domain from http://pcandnetservices.com/ to http://www.pcandnetservices.com/ this is the right format and it will help you in indexing your pages faster. If you need more help then you can right here. Thanks, Abhishek

      In the WP dashboard and trying to edit the url for the data recovery page by typing in "services/data-recovery" into the Permalink and click OK it ends up showing as in the attached screenshot? Any ideas why please or how I can fix that url?

        Mike,

        Your main category (services) is working as main menu. So You need to creat data-recovery and mac-repair pages etc. in sub menu category.
        After adding your pages in subcategory of (services) then you can edit your permalink according to you.

        If you don't able to understand these points then search on Google like: how to create submenu in wordpress. Then I hope you will get your solution. If not then take help from any wordpress expert in your area otherwise I need your wordpress editor access to see what exactly wrong you have done.

          I have fixed the data recovery URL so it now corretly reflects:

          Data Recovery - Computer RepairComputer Repair

          Thanks!

    Yes, since installing the new theme last week, it seemed slow so I will look into the reason for that. I will look into the other domain name issues you've mentioned now, thanks.
