An important part of your webpage’s is its URL structure.
Placing keywords in the URL is important if you want your webpage to rank in the SERPs (search engine results page).
When it comes to creating your webpage’s URL structure, its best to follow the following rulesL
1. Describe the content of the webpage (or use the title of the article or webpage)
2. Keep URLs short
3. Don't use nested folders
4. Use Hyphens as separators where there are spaces in your keywords
5. Use lower case for directories and filename, don't be case sensitive
So if your website is called http://www.seopants.com
And you have written a review / webpage about an "online casino" called "underworld casino"
Your structure should look something like this
1. Describe the content of the webpage (or use the title of the article or webpage)
-> "online casino review of underworld casino"
2. Keep URLs short
3. Don't use nested folders
-> don't do: http://www.seopants.com/online/casino/underworld/casino.html
-> This is better: http://www.seopants.com/online casino/underworld casino.html
4. Use Hyphens as separators where there are spaces in your keywords
-> This is better: http://www.seopants.com/online-casino/underworld-casino.html
5. Use lower case for directories and filename, don't be case sensitive
-> Directories and filenames are lowercase: http://www.seopants.com/online-casino/underworld-casino.html
If you choose the "online-casino" directory as your location to place your casino reviews, you should always place them there.
This will help you in maintaining a descriptive and confirmative layout of your website.
Variations which would be considered acceptable
