How to make your URL structure good for SEO

 In SEO, the structure of the URL is also one of the influencing factors, and you may encounter the following problems when setting up a URL:

 

Do you want to create many folders to classify?

Is the URL long or short?

Do you want to fill the URL with keywords?

 

 

Let’s talk about the URL structure that is beneficial to SEO:

 

 

1. The URL should be straightforward and meaningful, with keywords, and avoid numbers and punctuation.

 

 

2. It is necessary to emphasize on specific URLs. Not all URLs are of equal importance, but the website should also be crawled and indexed by search engines.

 

And you should also pay attention to the following rules when setting the URL:

• Avoid using confusing letters and phrases: "O", "of", "the", "are", "have"
• Using dashes is better than bottom line
• Avoid using numbers, punctuation, spaces
• Short URL is better than long URL
• Include keywords (because Google will mark keywords in bold)

 

The following also explains what kind of URL is suitable for several types of websites:

• E-commerce, online shopping sites: The focus is to bring the product name into the URL, and add categories to help visitors to visit the site more clearly.

For example: http://xxx.com/product-nome

  http://xxx.com/category-nome/product-nome

 

• Blogs, news sites: classified by various topics, and can add dates

 

• If the content of the website has a strong consistency, it is recommended to use the article title

For example: http://xxx.com/post-stle

 

• If the website discusses many topics, it is recommended to use topic classification

For example: http://xxx.com/topic/post-title

 

• If the website is updated frequently or a news website that updates articles daily, it is recommended that the URL should be added with a date

For example: http://xxx.com/mm/dd/yyyy/post-title/

 

• If you don’t want the URL to contain the date, you can use the ID to sort

For example: http://xxx.com/post-title/three-digit-ID/

 

 

To put it bluntly, there are no hard and fast rules for the URL structure that is good for SEO. It still depends on your website type. Set it in accordance with the above points so that users can have a better experience.
