      what kind of URL should we use?

      www.keyword.net/keyword-city or www.keyword.net/city which URL you would prefer?

        Either should be fine from an SEO perspective. I'd decide based on what would make most sense to users - probably the second.

          Between those two I would choose the second, the first one just seems like you are trying too hard to stuff those keywords in the URL.

            thanks guys one more question:

            www.keyword.net/keyword-city or www.keyword.net/keywords-city (plural)

            is this helpful to use to add the plural form?

              I'd go with the second, again because you don't want to look keyword-stuffed, and the second option is shorter, which helps when you're wanting to share your URL in social areas and if people are typing in your URL.

                Usually you won't need the plural form. As for your main question, I agree with previous responders: Option #2!
