URL Structures

URLs—the addresses for documents on the web—are of great value from a search perspective. They appear in multiple important locations.
Google URLSince search engines display URLs in the results, they can impact click-through and visibility. URLs are also used in ranking documents, and those pages whose names include the queried search terms receive some benefit from proper, descriptive use of keywords.
Browser URLURLs make an appearance in the web browser's address bar, and while this generally has little impact on search engines, poor URL structure and design can result in negative user experiences.
Blog URLThe URL above is used as the link anchor text pointing to the referenced page in this blog post.
