  • 2nd one is better, the page name has the exact keyword.
  • you are assuming that searchers are going to use one or the other, this is where testing is invaluable and will give you more informed information
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • The second one is better because the url contains the keywords need to seo
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Of course, if you do
    forex-trading/new-york

    you can do
    forex-trading/chicago
    forex-trading/san-francisco
    etc.

    And silo them.

    But how is forex trading specific to New York?

    • I agree with you.

  • So most agree that if one targets keyword "forex trading new york", best for SEO would be to name the inner page fxtradingusa.com/forex-trading-new-york (rather than fxtradingusa.com/new-york)
  • My vote goes to the 2nd option.

  • Your domain is not a url.

    So, your first thing should be actually learning something.

    The actual url you mention should be created so the user knows what it's about.

    If you are at a site for..ahem...forex trading....the user would know that a url with new york, would be about forex trading new york.

  • Second Url will be good one for seo were targeted keyword will be on your Url Itself
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • This URL fxtradingusa .com/forex-trading-new-york is better because it contains your main keyword.

  • I agree with DABK, you don't want your keywords to be redundant.

  • Second option is better. because It covers whole keyword.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • In my suggestion your second option of URL fxtradingusa.com/forex-trading-new-york is better than first one, this URL has much explanation about the page, anyone can understand easily about the page.

    I think this URL fxtradingusa.com/forex-trading-new-york will be best for SEO perspective also.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • fxtradingusa.com already includes the words "forex trading" (synonym). By using fxtradingusa.com/forex-trading-new-york "forex trading" will be used twice which may not look natural to Google. Anyway, the difference is minimal but can still move you few spots up or down.

    2nd url is best url in because the whole keyword is used in the url and this url look seo friendly.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I prefer fxtradingusa.com/forex-trading-new-york, because the first one is like you want to target keyword NY city.

  • A URL (Uniform Resource Locator), more commonly known as a "web address", specifies the location of a resource (such as a web page) on the internet. The URL also specifies how to retrieve that resource, also known as the "protocol", such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.

    Code Sample

    http://www.exampledomain.com
  • the second one of course

  • when it comes to selecting one from Forex Trading and Forex Trading in New York, the later will serve you better because in that case, the search engine will display results for both the keywords.

  • Second URL is better for your targeted keyword and this URL looks SEO friendly.
  • Second url is better. Reason is in second url include your targeted keyword, i.e, reason it's better compare to first one.

  • Second one is better. URL optimization is very important ranking factor. Adding primary keywords in URL improves you SEO.
  • Nice target of your URL.
  • I can't see any reason why not to use use both
