Guten tag SEOMozians!

I'm looking for your opinions and thoughts regarding MozRank. I recently noticed a website of mine going from a modest MozRank of 5 to an out of the park 9 in the span of two weeks.

Any thoughts on where I might look to see what may have caused such a spike?

Cheers,

Howdy SEO'ers,

I have a quick question for the SEO gurus out there.

When constructing "better" search friendly URLs would one of these be better than the other?

Example 1:

http://Domain.com/Category/Sub-Category/Product-name

Example 2:

http://Category.Domain.com/Sub-Category/Product-name

In this example the category could be phones and the sub-category brands of phones.

Is either one of these URLs "better" than the other in terms of ranking?

Thanks!

I'll hang-up and listen to your answer.

Jonathan

Thanks for the input! Great advise.

In the above examples, if I decided to move to a shorter, simpler URL for page abctown.com/keyword-for-life-helping-keywords-everywhere-rank-better to abctown.com/keyword

Would you setup the 301 from the current page URL to the simpler one or the new simple URL to the current URL???

Appreciate the help!

This has been discussed on the forums in some regard.

My situation.

Example 1 Long Keyword URL:

www.abctown.com/keyword-for-life-helping-keywords-everywhere-rank-better

Example 2 Short Keyword URL:

www.abctown.com/keyword

In both examples I want to improve rankings for the "keyword" phrase. My current URL is example 1. And I've landed a page one ranking in Google (7) with that URL. In attempts to improve rankings further (top 5), I was toying with the idea of going simpler with all my URLs in favor of the example 2 model.

Might this method help or hurt my current rankings? In recent articles I've read it seems that going with the simpler more human approach to my SEO efforts.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Cheers,
