Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What makes a URL "SEO friendly"?
A: Generally, SEO-friendly URLs are concise, descriptive, contain relevant keywords, use hyphens to separate words, avoid special characters, and are readable by humans and search engines.
Q: Why are clean URLs important for SEO?
A: They improve user experience (users can understand what the page is about before clicking), enhance click-through rates (CRTs) from search results, and help search engines better understand the context and topic of the page.
Q: Should I include keywords in my URLs?
A: Yes, if naturally possible. Including relevant keywords in your URL can provide a small ranking boost and help search engines associate your page with specific queries. Avoid keyword stuffing.
Q: What are "stop words" and should I remove them?
A: Stop words (e.g., "a", "an", "the", "in", "on") are common words that search engines often ignore. While you don't *have* to remove all of them, for very long URLs, removing unnecessary stop words can make the URL cleaner and more concise without harming SEO.
