The Hidden Benefits of A Short URL for Google SEO

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 08:47:58 +0000

Should you be using a short URL to rank higher on google? •Subscribe here to learn more of my secret SEO tips: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc

What's the benefit of a short URL for SEO, and what websites would you recommend use a short URL for SEO?

If you want to shorten your URL, you could use bitly, but I don't recommend using too many tools like that. The biggest benefit of a short URL that's keyword rich, you tend to rank higher in Google.

When you have a long URL with too many subfolders, you'll notice that your rankings won't be as high compared to when you have fewer subfolders, and you have shorter URLs that are keyword rich.

The moment you use a short URL for SEO, Google's like "Hey, this content is about ..."

One of my URLs what is SEO, so neilpatel.com/what-is-seo. That page ranks on page one of Google for the term SEO. And it ranks for a lot of other SEO-related terms. It's short, and because it's short Google's like "Oh, this URL's about SEO and all the other topics around SEO."

But if my URL were "link building, the key to SEO," I would only be ranking for certain link building-related topics. Or, if my URL was even worse: "link building, the key to SEO in 2017", and I know we're already past 2017, Google will be like "Oh this article's about 2017, and link building and SEO for 2017."

So don't pigeon-hole yourself with really long URLs, the shorter they are, they better. In addition to that, people remember short URL for SEO. For example, I know to log into WordPress it's my URL dot com slash wp-admin or -login. Right? People remember short URLs.

What about buying domains? Like super short, like one-word, two-word domains. Does that matter?

It does help. One of my competitors is called keywordtool.io, all right? It's not a dot com, it's not a dot org, but it's Keyword Tool dot whatever, io.

I'm also trying to rank for that, Keyword Tool, that term, because I bought a company called Ubersuggest and the URL neilpatel.com/ubersuggest also ranks for Keyword Tool, but not as high. It ranks on, I think, page one or page two or page three, somewhere around there. And eventually, it'll climb up over time. If I had a URL that was keywordtool.com, when people talk about me, they would link to me.

When you have a shorter URL that is the keyword or a shorter domain name that is the keyword, you get more brand queries. And we've talked about this in past videos; brand queries are huge when it comes to rankings.

The reason I also rank decently well for SEO, terms like online marketing, is because a lot of people are googling "Neil Patel." I built up a brand, I've been doing a podcast, doing these videos, more people get to know me and they type in Neil Patel or variations of it, Neil Patel blog, Neil Patel SEO, Neil Patel videos.

Keyword Tool, search that a couple of times.

Yes, Neil Patel keyword tool, there you go! And all that helps with my rankings. The point I'm trying to make, and you brought up an amazing question, is, do domains matter? Yes, domains matter, short domains with keywords are even better, really long domains with keywords aren't as effective. It used to be much more effective years and years ago, like three, four, five years ago, and people called it exact match domains.

That's a good hack for you guys: use short URL for SEO. If you want to rank well, for one specific keyword that's a money keyword, buy a domain with that keyword. It doesn't have to be a dot com or a dot org, just look at keywordtool.io, it's a dot io, and they still do well. You can see too.

If you guys have a comment or a question and you want it answered on next week's Q and A Thursdays, leave a comment below, we both read it, we go through all of them, and we may select it. Either way, you'll still get a response from me, I answer every single comment, even though it takes me a bit of time.

What Is Web Hosting? Explained Simply

Tue, 06 Aug 2019 21:23:03 +0000

To make your website visible on the Web, your website’s files and data must be physically stored on a computer that is connected to the Internet. These large, high-powered computers are called web servers. Website hosts are companies that physically house several web servers in one location, or what is sometimes referred to as a data center. In addition to housing the web servers, website hosts provide the software, security, support, and bandwidth that connects your website to the Internet.

Akismet Plugin For WordPress - Reduce Comment Spam With This Anti-Spam Plugin | WP Learning Lab

In this tutorial you're going to learn how to install and configure the Akismet plugin to help reduce comment spam on your WordPress site.

The Akismet plugin is made by Automattic, the team behind WordPress itself. It comes pre-installed on all new WordPress installations, so chances are it's already installed on your website. But it's probably not configured.

In the off chance it's not installed already, here's how to install it. To install this plugin please log into your WordPress dashboard, hover over Plugins and then click on Add New.

On the next page type "Akismet" into the search bar. The plugin we want should be the first one in the top left.

Click on the Install Now button and then click Activate after it's installed.

To get to the Akismet settings simply hover over Settings in the left hand menu and then choose Akismet from the flyout menu. It's usually near the bottom.

On the following page click on Get Your API Key and then on the next page click on Get An Akismet API Key.

You have to create a WordPress.com account or if you have one you can log in with your WordPress.com credentials.

You can choose to pay for the Akismet API key if you are a commercial enterprise. You can also get the key for free.

Once logged in you will be presented with an API key that you can copy and paste in to the Manually Enter An API Key field inside your WordPress site.

Then click on Use API Key and you're all set up. Akismet will start blocking spam immediately.
