Michael Martinez: Group expertNot sure what you mean by "reduce the number of words for better indexing". Unless you`ve got pages with 1, 000, 000+ words on them, you won`t see any improvement in indexing based on word count.Can you be a bit more specific about what you`re thinking?But remember: It`s YOUR Website. Do what you think is best for it and your visitors. Create the kind of site YOU would want to visit, bookmark, and recommend to other people. And if that means reducing word count in some places, don`t worry about what other people think is good for SEO.
Abdallah Oubaki: I mean reduce the number of words on my links.My links are now like:Www.example.com/how-to-fix-the-tv-screenAnd replace it with:Www.example.com/repair/tv/screen"Repair" and "tv" will be categories
Michael Martinez: Group expertAbdallah Oubaki Well, shortening URLs makes them more memorable and I`ve always believed that is good for branding.It won`t have any impact on search engines.
