RE: Newbie SEO ?: Does my About page URL have to contain the word About?posted in On-Page Optimization
Thank you. I decided to change it back to about and figured out how to do my first 301.
While I agree about the power of the keyword, I would rather that keyword point to another page, so I decided to play it safe and go back to about. Thanks for your thoughts!

Newbie SEO ?: Does my About page URL have to contain the word About?posted in On-Page Optimization
New to WordPress and SEO. Built and launched my website last week. The URL was originally domain/about. However, I installed Yoast plugin and it told me "about" was a stop word. So, without too much thought (my first problem), I changed the url (before Google crawled me) to clearwingcommunications.com/storytelling. Since then, I've noticed that sites I know are optimized have their URL with the word "about." So, is this considered a bad practice?
My site HAS been crawled at this point. If I change it back to About and do a 301 redirect, does that hurt reporting?
Thanks for your help!
