  • The URL can be divided into four basic parts; the protocl and domain name, the path, the file name and parameters. The order of importance is from left to right.
    So to answer to your question, the fact that the term best-coffee appears within the domain name and path is perfectly fine and normal. In fact, it's optimal.

    • You have GOT to be kidding...

      Importance from left to right?

      Do you even know what protocol is?!?!?!?!?!?

      And according to you, it's most important?

      You have got to be kidding.

      A domain is not a url for one simple reason. It needs a location.

      A domain has no file location.

      Hence, the warrior forum, as many sites, uses index.php as the file location.

      So you might think you are going to warriorforum.com, when in reality you are going to the url:
      warriorforum.com/index.php

      How you name the file location is probably of utmost importance.

      So the chap above has it reversed.

      Protocol is a nonissue for anyone searching on the internet. And I mean nonissue.

  • It's your advantage for keywords in url. .. If your keyword in title tag, description tag, url, header tag, alt tag and anchor tag than get best advantage on search engines and Jump your keyword on top...

    • You need to explain what a "header tag" is.

      And when you do, you will reveal how clueless the whole answer was.

      Do you people actually know anything? Or do you just repeat nonsense that you think you heard...

    • You forgot footer tags and body tags
  • Well, as you know, keywords in the URL are still an important factor to determine your pages CTR, as they show up in search results, and serve one of the most prominent elements searchers consider when selecting which site to click. So, might happen that
    best-coffee.com/best-coffee-in-washington
    would be more self explanatory in some way.

  • i think washingtonbestcoffee. it 's short and easy for SEO.
  • It`s not such a crucial factor in terms of rankings, so it`s unlikely that /best-coffee-in-washington URL would give a noticeable boost, or /in-washington will get you in trouble.

    But logically - the best URL is a descriptive one, users appreciate it looking through the results, Google likes it. In case it`d be descriptive and relative to the page`s actual content - seems quite natural it would include the focus keywords. So I`d go for best-coffee.com/best-coffee-in-washington

  • Do i also need to add the "in" or will it also work without the "in"

    best-coffee.com/best-coffee-in-washington

    best-coffee.com/best-coffee-washington
  • Keyword in domain url will benefit your website ranking as per https://www.hover.com/blog/how-impor...a-domain-name/

    But use the keyword in that way which would still look as the brand name in place of keyword stuffing in domain url.

    The urls which you have suggested seems keyword stuffing. I would like to suggest some option for your domain such as awecoffeejunction, coffeekick etc.
  • I would personally go with second one.
    Cheers

  • Yes, Keyword in URL is a good factor.
    But you should not use ugly URL only for keywords.
    Simple and easy to remind keyword is good.

  • Hi Dodo

    You should focus more on putting keyword in Meta title tags, Meta description tags, URL, header tag, alt tag and anchor tag for an effective ranking progress.
    Off course, putting your keywords in URL gives you good advantages, but there are many more metrics of strategies involved for a good business growth.

    Thanks
  • Basically Google not giving priority to EMD, focus on brand building itself..

  • Second URL I will recommend .. Add your keywords in metatags..
  • I'd go second one. Try and make it match full search query as close as possible.
