thanks a lot
thank u its very usefull
Thanks you so much great info
Hi thanks for the videos that were very useful. My Website tavarasands.com has a URL Extention of.PHP – When I use SEO Tools scanning website it says the URL Filename is not friendly to do I need to change the URL. By the way, it's Running on the Google First page for Some important keywords.
Hi, We've a #1 ranking business website with a 7 year old url with the format city-keyword-keyword.tld, we've a new service & cover many more cities which means this url is not great anymore.
We're thinking of switching to our actual business name which is 29 characters long & not keywordy. What would you do? Almost everyone in our industry has keywordy urls (we know we need to change backlinks etc and it will be a lot of work)
Please advise. We're in a market with tough competition but the url is no longer as relevent to our business but we don't want to lose our rankings or business due to this.
Thanks you so much great videos 🙂
Great! .html is not necessary. Thank you for your videos !.
Thanks John

You often talk about redirects. Is there a time, how long to use those redirects?
