Question

Search Engine Optimization

Which addresses are better: site.ru/blog/kak-kupit-slona or site.ru/kak-kupit-slona?

Answer 1

The shorter the better

Answer 2

It doesn't really matter for search engine optimization. For users... Well, almost doesn't matter. Most of the phone still does not see the address.

Answer 3

If the site has many sections, then it is better to shove each section into its own folder, this can help with indexing.
If the site has one section - a blog, then the shorter, the better.

Answer 4

No difference. Do what is convenient and so that there is no pain if you decide to change the platform (CMS).

Answer 5

If the blog section is about purchasing non-standard goods, then it is better to save the purpose of the section in the URL:
If this is a set of articles from one blog of one author, it is better to save the publication date in the international ISO 8601 format :
If this is a dynamic list publication (product offer, for example) - it is better to use ID :
If this is a publication of a specific user:
or the same publication, but without mentioning the user:
Don't forget to specify the canonical tag: <rel=canonical href="[link]">if the page is available at several URLs! Here - in detail.
If the site has too extensive and heterogeneous topics of publications (entertainment and news resources) that are not segmented according to any criteria, and audience attraction is designed for organic "bay" and / or through the exchange of links in IM chats, then you can write article titles in the URL transliterated immediately after the domain name of the site without any additional intermediate sections:
In this case, according to the information from the link, the user (who received such a link from another) will immediately understand what information will be provided after clicking on it.
