Hello all,

I must put URLs in my language Greek, Greeklish or in English?

And at the end of url it is good to put -> .html? For exampe www.test.com/test/test-test.html ?

What is the best way to get great ranking?

I am a new digital marketing manager and its my first time who works with a programmer who doesn't know. I need to know as soon as possible, because they want to be "on air" tomorrow!

Thank you very much for your help!

Regards,

Marios

Hello Marios

1- There is no problem using language specific words in the URL. Even though it is useful for ranking in that language.
Some info about that: Can my URLs use non-English words? - Google Webmaster Youtube

2- There is no SEO difference in adding nor deleting the file extension.
John Mueller confirmed it here: Will removing “.html” from my URLs help my site? - Google Webmaster Youtube

3- There is no simple answer to "the best way" to get great rankings. Regarding URLs, I´d suggest to use the keyword focus in the URL.

Hallo Gaston,

Thanks for 1 and 3!

2. I don't want to removing ".html" because we just setup new site! So the question its if we need .html on url or not? I can not find something like that.

Thank you very much for your answer. It's very helpful!

There is no difference en SEO terms. If you cant remove them, then leave them as is

Τhere is a way to understand if it is ok and in Greek language?

On this link -> Can my URLs use non-English words? - Google Webmaster Youtube i think that refers is general.

How can i cross that its ok and with Greek language?

I'm more close to put url names on Greek-lish (= English characters) with Greek meaning, and not in my language.

Thank you very much
