SEO Urls - Better Urls for SEO

Why is it important?

What are better SEO friendly urls? The webpage you created is named by you and that is the name your visitors use to access the webpage. For example:

https://revisezone.com/Html/SEO/SEOUrls.html

Is the full web url for this webpage. It's better to use urls that visitors can easily remember and understand

Let's do a small comparison:

https://revisezone.com/Html/SEO/SEO_#1.html

or

https://revisezone.com/Html/SEO/SEOUrls.html

Which is more user friendly? The Second Url describes what the webpage is about to the user.

Always avoid numbers on your urls. It has no meaning to the user.

Avoid long Urls. It makes it harder to remember

Don't use under_scores in your urls

How does it increase your SEO

Well, it provides the same function to Google SEO also. It allows them to better understand your webpage

This is the same for image urls and for any other files linked to it. The best rule to remember is to always use meaningful variables and urls

This will also increase the number of direct searches ( Urls entered by the visitors ) so you will get more traffic to your website because, your urls are easy to remember!

Keywords in urls

The urls is a good place to highlight any keywords and it is a good place to enter it
