Url permalink structure question!

[lytcheetv]

Hello!

I just read the "15 SEO Best Practices for Structuring URLs" but I have still a question:

My A version bellow "20 accessoires" has no meaning in french. If I add "voyage" (version B), then is it considered as spammy? I mean the "voyage" keyword repetition?

A) http://www.lytchee.com/preparer-son-voyage/20-accessoires/

B) http://www.lytchee.com/preparer-son-voyage/20-accessoires-voyage

Thanks for advices!

I believe because of how the URL is siloed it is not that spammy, however, I do not believe having voyage twice in a URL is going to dramatically boost the rankings for that keyword. I am not too familiar with French, but I would go with option A due to it being a shorter URL and a more normal user experience (see https://moz.com/community/q/duplicate-keywords-in-url)

I agree with Nicholas. I don't think repeating the word 'voyage' will have any significant effect on your ranking if it's only being used in this one specific instance. If including it makes it more relevant to the page content, go for it. Otherwise, like Nicholas said, keep it shorter.

Hello Nicholas and mkupfer112,

Thanks a million for your advices! It's clear for me now!

I will go for A.
