Don’t Go Overboard With Your URL

There are things about search engine optimisation that you may never have considered. Whenever somebody gets their first website with their own domain name, there’s a tendency to go overboard with the URL. You must have seen those sites with a URL so long that there’s barely enough room for it on the page. The problem is, that if you get too creative with your URLs then you can complicate things later on down the line. It’s not easy to keep your keyword useage as simple as possible when your URL is almost long enough for hanging the washing.

From an seo perspective, the shorter and simpler you make the URL, the better it is. Take this site for instance, http://zyas.org, it really couldn’t be any less complicated. No matter what your website is about, the short and simple rule always applies. If you are lamenting the fact that you’ve got yourself a long and complicated URL that can’t be changed, then think again. There are special tools available on the internet, in fact wordpress has one, that will let you reshape your URL into something short and simple. Do this and your site will fare much better in the seo stakes.
