Keywords in the URL?
- SEO |
I'm new to Affiliate Marketing and as such I wanted to create a blog where I document my journey. It will have something like "Peters Affiliate Marketing blog" in its title.
The root domain is a dot com domain named after my full-name. As it will be the only content under my domain name I'm free to form its url in any way I want. I can even use a sub domain.
The question is what is best practice from both, the users and the SEO point of view. Is it better to have related keywords in the domain name, in the url after the domain name, mixed in both parts of the url or none at all?
From my former business I know that keywords in the url worked quite well (that was three years ago), but is this still the case after the recent changes on Google?
When I think about Penguin and if I've got it right, then there is a problem with exact match keywords in the anchor text. Doesn't that mean that most of the inbound links automatically get banged down?
From this point of view it would be best not to include any keyword in the url at all. What is your suggestion and why?
