Should ".html" in the URL or not?
-
Does URL like /wedding-dresses.html/f/price/2,100 with "html" in the middle do harm to SEO? Should I drop the ".html"?
-
Hello
I want to change the URL this way when several parameters are selected on category pages.
For example,
CHANGE
http://www.adorona.com/wedding-dresses.html/f/feature/593/straps/169
TO
http://www.adorona.com/wedding-dresses.html/f/feature-593/straps-169
How can i make it?thank you

Definitely yes! Everything that makes your user to harder remember url should be dropped! As you know, SEO friendly url's shouldn't contain any characters, numbers or unnecessary extensions. Just treat them as you would share them by the phone with your friend and you friend should easily find this url when he is Goggling it!
Now try to call me and try to convince me to remember your url - /wedding-dresses.html/f/price/2,100 -
If you would tell me something like this - /wedding-dresses/dream - I would be much happier!
kind regards,
Jungles

the file name is the most important part of the url for rankings
Lose the .html and lose the other junk /f/price/2,100

Hi,
Can't you make URL more seo firendly ? Like example.com/wedding-dresses, I think f/price/2100 is not required.
Is it inner URL ?

Redirect chains error on the home page URL

City Name in URL structure
I have a client whose site was built when they only served one market, and they now have that city in the majority of their URLs. I'm suggesting we redo the URL structure to remove this location from the main URLs (think homepage, about, etc.) since they have now expanded to three markets. They are seeing a lot of great organic traffic in that original market but are struggling in the new ones they've added so I'm helping to optimize their site. How critical do you think that removing that location from the URL is? I know we would need to implement 301 redirects, but wanted to get thoughts on this.

What is html text?
I am using the "page attributes" tool for a guideline for what I am filling in on each page of my website. I feel like I've done my homework on this, but I can't figure out what "html text" is. URL Page Title Meta Description Meta Keywords H1 H2 **HTML Text ** ... not sure what to put here, how long it should be, what it's purpose is, etc. Any SEOMoz links helping me figure that out? I'm not finding it in the "Basics of Search Engine Design" article posted here on SEOMoz.
