Uniform Resource Locator or URL

The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a unique text string that users enter into a browser’s address bar to access a website; for example, www.redblink.com.

Typically, a URL is composed of four parts:

1. The protocol;
2. The domain name;
3. The folder;
4. The page.

In terms of SEO, it is recommended to:

• Create readable and easily understandable URLs;
• Prefer hyphens to underscores in URLs;
• Develop a simple and concise domain name to facilitate its memorization;
• Choose a domain name that logically reflects the site’s content in a few words;
• Insert keywords for better indexing.
