URL Optimization

 

URL Optimization


URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is the address of a given unique resource on the Website. It is also called as Web Address. Optimized URLs are important from SEO perspective. Optimized URLs are SEO friendly that tend to be short and keyword-rich.

There are many factors to be considered for creating SEO friendly URLs. Selected best practices for URL optimization are presented below,

SEO Friendly URL


1. Include Keyword in URL - URL should contain a keyword for which the page is to be ranked. This inclusion will indicate the Google that “This page is about the mentioned keyword”.

2. Use Hyphens (-) to separate words – This is important for both user readability and SEO. Google recommends using hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in URLs as hyphens are treated as spaces between words, while words connected by underscores are regarded as one word.

3. Keep URLs Short - The URL of a web page should be descriptive and brief, as a short URL is quicker to read and type. It is also necessary to use lowercase alphabets, static URLs and avoid using dates or too many folders in the URL structure.

How to select a M.Tech. Thesis Topic?

The search for a potential and approachable M.Tech. thesis topic is an annoying task. It is difficult for most of the students because they do not understand the expectation of the university and their guides. At master’s level, no one expect the students to do wonders and come up with a Ph.D. level research in just 5 to 6 months. The expectation is to train the students to understand the contributions of other researchers. It is only then they may find opportunity, directions and gaps to work further after their M.Tech. is over.  The students at master’s level are expected to make a noteworthy and decent contribution to the research. The simplest approaches that I have found for the same are Ø   Expansion of previous work in the field, Ø   Suggesting improvement in the available algorithms or work, Ø   Confirmation of the results available in the literature and implementation of the same to new problems, Ø   Comparison of the results for two or mo...

IoT for Electrical Engineers

Electrical Engineering is majorly known for generation and distribution of Electrical Power through fossil fuels, hydro power plants, etc. but that is just a small purview of this field. The lesser known but very significant areas of this field include renewable / clean energy, control and automation. The renewable energy generation is the most researched and active area these days. The manufacturing industry cannot be thought without the automatic control techniques. Can you think about packing of chips with hands or controlling a paper making machine without controllers? Obviously No! The internet has touched everyone and has changed the way we live, think and communicate. The next step of this field known as Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm of Internet connected Things which can connect, interact and communicate with each other similar to the way humans talk. IoT is not just a link to connect things rather it allows things to communicate and exchange data while executing the...
