Are my urls too long or spammy?
-
Hello, what are your thoughts on these urls. I have had them like this for years, I got hit hard from Google in May last year. Do you think this contributed? Would it be beneficial for me to make them shorter?
-
Thanks. None of those will do what I need unfortunately.
I am using RSSEO in J3.0.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the option to change the urls to custom urls.
I installed: MijoSEF Popular but it changed the existing sef-url structure so it's contracts what I have already done. So I will need to keep the RSSEO in place.
So, what I need is a plugin/component to allow me to customize the urls and also creating 301's for the old ones. -
I don't know Joomla well but found more tools to do 301's

I'm using Joomla 3.0. Unfortunately the component doesn't give the option to customize the urls.
I have found another component which gives the option however, it changes the current url, so that would be I would have to do twice as many 301's.

I would read this blog post
http://moz.com/blog/should-i-change-my-urls-for-seo
then read this afterwards
in my opinion they are way too long. you are being somewhat spammy by repeating words over and over. For instance wedding is said very many times sows the word dress and bridal.
I would look into rewriting your URLs. Read the should I change my URLs for SEO link at the top.
If the URLs are older and ranking extremely well I would leave them alone but only if there ranking where you want them to be.
I want to remind you to remember to 301 redirect your old URL into your new URL when you make the change if you decide to
Sincerely,
Thomas

Question about ranking for long tail keywords
So I am looking at some long tail keywords for my web design company, for example: "website development and design company" The top results are websites that are not optimized for that specific keyword but about "web design & development" in general. The top ranking sites also have quite high PA with lots of links. If I were to create a page specifically about that term would it be fairly easy to rank for since the top ranking pages are not optimized for that keyword?

Invisible Long Tail Keywords
I've been doing some research on SEOmoz and have seen some posts relating to invisible long tail keywords. I have a couple of questions relating to this: Am I correct to understand that an invisible long tail keyword won't show any search in a tool like the Google Keyword Tool? If not, how do you define it? If an invisible long tail keyword has almost no search (or search that can be proven by an SEO researcher), how can you be confident that it will produce results?
