Can changing a URL to a more descriptive or briefer URL be part of a Search Engine Optimisation campaign – or does the URL make no difference to SEO? Also any other SEO tips welcome. Thanks.
"does the URL make no difference to SEO?"
It does make a difference. Read for example http://www.seo-blog.com/keywords-in-urls.php and http://www.seo-blog.com/url-update.php
Note the four important points:
1. Keep the urls short.
2. Put important pages in the root directory (immediately after the first slash).
3. Incorporate your keywords in the urls.
4. Use hyphens to separate keywords, never an underscore or space.
"Also any other SEO tips welcome. Thanks."
Read through the Tutorial on the above site carefully!
Good Luck!
Has anyone got any good tips for SEO? We http://www.commercialroute.com are starting to slowly climb the SERPS for search terms, and our page rank has had marginal improvement. I just wanted to see what ideas people have.
Here are some good tips for you
1. Insert keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will know what your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keyword or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site.
Make sure that the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.
2. Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is especially useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.
3. Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page.
Adding the exact same text for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link and have arrived at the page where they intended to visit. Robots like this too because now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline.
Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red. A good place to do this is once or twice in the body at the top of your article and in the sub-headings.
4. Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed.
I always use the headline of my pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what my page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.
5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.
6. Do not link to link-farms or other search engine unfriendly neighborhoods.
7. Do not use doorway pages. Doorway pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which contain content which is relevant to the search.
8. Title tags for text links. Insert the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images.
My site contains navigation menus on the left and right of the page. The menu consists of links not images. When you hover over the link with your mouse, the title of the link appears. View the source of this page to see how to add this tag to your links.
9. Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.
10. Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use a submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned.

I’d recommend you get yourself a copy of Search Engine Optimisation for Dummies, because there’s a lot to it – far more than can be described here. Some key points are;
1). Research your keyword terms, as others have suggested – you can do it here http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ . This will give you the commonly searched for variants on your main word. The results you see are usually taken from Yahoo, so to estimate Google results, you need to multiply the results several times. Put these terms in your meta tags, i.e. the title and description tags etc. Also, get them into your main page text. If possible, put your most important keywords in a sub-heading because the search engines will give this greater importance than normal text. If possible, get the most important keyword or phrase into your URL as well because the search engine robots love that.
2). Post quality backlinks around the internet, in directories, and social networking sites, blogs etc. For the latter, take a peek at the page code and make sure they aren’t using the ‘nofollow’ attributes, because this will take away the usefulness of a link. In essence, the search engines rate the importance of a site largely on how much people are ‘talking about it’ across the web – and they are looking for backlinks. Another good tip is to use the most important word or words related to your site in the anchor text of any blog links posted (for example, if you sell horses, when posting a blog comment, in the ‘name’ box, write ‘horses’ and this will become the text that links to your website). This also gives you extra credence with the engines. AVOID RECIPROCAL LINKS – you get credit for links in, but penalised for links out. These days, there are so many places you can post your links across the web that reciprocals aren’t necessary. Also, avoid directories that want you to pay them, or say they will put you on a higher ranking page if you part with $10 etc. It’s an uneccessary waste of money.
That should get you going – good luck!
