Should ".html" in the URL or not?
-
Does URL like /wedding-dresses.html/f/price/2,100 with "html" in the middle do harm to SEO? Should I drop the ".html"?
-
Hello
I want to change the URL this way when several parameters are selected on category pages.
For example,
CHANGE
http://www.adorona.com/wedding-dresses.html/f/feature/593/straps/169
TO
http://www.adorona.com/wedding-dresses.html/f/feature-593/straps-169
How can i make it?thank you

Definitely yes! Everything that makes your user to harder remember url should be dropped! As you know, SEO friendly url's shouldn't contain any characters, numbers or unnecessary extensions. Just treat them as you would share them by the phone with your friend and you friend should easily find this url when he is Goggling it!
Now try to call me and try to convince me to remember your url - /wedding-dresses.html/f/price/2,100 -
If you would tell me something like this - /wedding-dresses/dream - I would be much happier!
kind regards,
Jungles

the file name is the most important part of the url for rankings
Lose the .html and lose the other junk /f/price/2,100

Hi,
Can't you make URL more seo firendly ? Like example.com/wedding-dresses, I think f/price/2100 is not required.
Is it inner URL ?

Does a / at the end of a URL create a duplicate page?
Hello, I have just used (the amazing) Screaming Frog to check my site and it is listing the two following pages as having duplicate titles, making me think it is seeing them as duplicate pages. http://zenplugs.com/zenplugs-molded-earphones/ http://zenplugs.com/zenplugs-molded-earphones Do I need to redirect one of these? Thanks in advance! Toby

URL / Meta info for Author bio pages
When you create a biography page for authors that point back to their G+ account, do you include any other signals in the URL other than the authors name? For example, would you use www.domain.com/sam-spade or www.domain.com/sam-spade-biography, etc? Similar question for the meta description. Do you add any signals there? Or, is rel=author strong enough. Best,

URL for location pages
Hello all We would like to create clean, easy URLs for our large list of Location pages. If there are a few URLs for each of the pages, am I right when I'm saying we would like this to be the canonical? Right now we would like the URL to be: For example

Domain.com/locations/Columbus I have found some instances where there might be 2,3 or more locations in the same city,zip. My conclusion for these would be: adding their Branch id's on to the URL
Domain.com/locations/Columbus/0304 Is this an okay approach? We are unsure if the URL should have city,State,zip for SEO purposes?
The pages will have all of this info in it's content
BUT what would be best for SEO and ranking for a given location? Thank you for any info!0 -
Ecommerce Product Subcategory URL
Our website has 5 main categories displayed in tabs in the header. The main landing page of each of the 5 categories is a paginated page (3pages- set up with canonical tags to avoid duplicate content) with a side bar which splits the main category into many subcategories. Each of these subcategories essentially filter the main landing page into more defined categories customers find useful (price/colour) BUT once clicked enter into a separate landing page. We have worked hard to avoid any duplicate content issues between these sub-landing pages and the main landing page. This was done as we wanted each of the subpages to organically rank (thus we went with this method rather than filters). Hope we didn't do the wrong thing there? The question is should these sub-landing pages route straight from home to have the best chance to get individually ranked or routed through the main category bearing in mind we have 5 main categories each with many subcategories. i.e. domain.co.uk/subcategory or domain.co.uk/category/subcategory Thanks in advance for any advice given.
