hello everybody,

I once read before that stop words in URL are not useful, if not "harmeful" for the SEO efforts.

Recently I found in page 1 a URL with a stop word.

Example "not real URL"

TheMP3ShopUK.com "a fake URL"

So, my question is, Is it really a bad idea to have a URL with a stop word?

& What about a URL Like this: MP3ShopInUK.com? is it a good idea to have "IN" on domain as the one without "IN" is not available.

Thanks..

"Keyword" URLs are NOWHERE near as important as you think they are.

There's no such thing as stop words.

stop words
Used to be a frequently used term, but this post is the first time I've come across reference to it for several years. Best return it back to it's dormant state again.

Thanks too much for your reply.

anyway, will be a bad idea to use "MP3ShopInUK.com"

thanks

Not a good idea to post a Domain Name here or anywhere on the Net that you may be considering.
It's still showing not registered, but if you think you may want it, grab it quick.

It's fine to use any domain name you'd like. Although if it's for the UK you should probably get the .co.uk version instead.

Thanks jill,

another question please,

Which is better when buying a .co.uk domain: having "UK" on the domain or not

I mean which is better:

domain1UK.co.uk

OR

domain2.co.uk

thanks

[Jill]

Use any domain name you want.
