      Hello,

      I have this abbreviation inside my domain name, ok? now for a page URL name, do you recommend me to use the actual word (which shortened form of it is inside domain name) in a page name?

      Or when have abbreviation in domain name, then using its actual word in a page name is not good?

      It's all about how much google recognize abbreviation as the actual word and gives the same value of word to it? do I risk not using the actual word?

      Hope made myself clear ) thanks.

        Does your text make clear the meaning of the abbreviation? When we were SEOmoz.org, we never needed to add /search-engine-optimization/ to our URLs, for example.
