      I am doing SEO on our eCommerce website and read that I should include keywords in the URL

      The original URL is: http://thegiftlinks.com/personalized-wedding-glass.html
      Title page: Wedding gift Dubai - Anniversary gift Dubai - Personalized Wedding Glass
      Meta Data:
      Wedding gift Dubai - Anniversary gift Dubai - Personalized Wedding Glass
      It is great for a wedding gift and anniversary gift for friends and family members.

      If I will include the keyword to the url it will be like this
      http://thegiftlinks.com/personalized-wedding-glass.html/Wedding-gift-Dubai

      is this the correct way to include keywords in the URL?

      Thanks

        Hello abdulw,

        Im assuming that your focus keyword is Wedding gift Dubai.
        Yes, it's always good to have the keyword in the URL and some times better if it is exact match.
        I'd avoid the caps and (for readable purposes) try to loose the .html, looking like this:

        http://thegiftlinks.com/personalized-wedding-glass/wedding-gift-dubai

        Another optimization that you should do is to include that focus keyword in the H1 tag. Right now your H1 is Personalized Wedding Glass, i've added an image showing your heading tags distribution. That is also not right, the hierarchy should be complete and looks like some of those are buttons without any information at all.

        Hope I've helped.
        Best luck.
        GR.

          Hi GR,

          Thank you very much for answering my question and the taking time to send an image with hierarchy.

          We will surely take your suggestion and remove .html and to include H1 tags.

          You are very helpful, Thanks again.

          Regards,
          Abdulw
