Hi

Having the keyword in the URL is helpful in a number of ways;

1.) relevancy to the page
2.) branding
3.) easy of navigation (user experience)
4.) categorisation

It would be far better to include the keyword in the URL for the above reasons but also for future development of ur site.

For example, how would you target the title, page content, alt tags, images, technical info, metadata etc for search engines once you have say 5 different types of tablets? Rather than using ur short URL where all the products are competiting on the same page for rankings it would be much better for each to have a seperate page on ur website.

This will help you not only build targeted, keyword rich, relevant and helpful pages that have seperate rankings but will help to improve your conversion to sale & help lower bounce rates as you customers will land on a page of products they have searched for, as opposed to searching through a page of similar products for what they want.

Hope this helps but I can expand on this if you need!

This issue can also be a minor issue within the coding. If you have previously had an auto generated or default page title then the site could also still be adding this as well as the new bespoke title given to the page.

I recently had this same issue on one of my sites and I could not figure out what  was causing the issue until I rewrote the code and it stopped.
