Hello all,

And at the end of url it is good to put -> .html? For exampe www.test.com/test/test-test.html ?
What is the best way to get great ranking?
I am a new digital marketing manager and its my first time who works with a programmer who doesn't know. I need to know as soon as possible, because they want to be "on air" tomorrow!
Thank you very much for your help!

Τhere is a way to understand if it is ok and in Greek language?
On this link -> Can my URLs use non-English words? - Google Webmaster Youtube i think that refers is general.
How can i cross that its ok and with Greek language?
I'm more close to put url names on Greek-lish (= English characters) with Greek meaning, and not in my language.
Thank you very much

There is no difference en SEO terms. If you cant remove them, then leave them as is

Hallo Gaston,
Thanks for 1 and 3!
2. I don't want to removing ".html" because we just setup new site! So the question its if we need .html on url or not? I can not find something like that.
Thank you very much for your answer. It's very helpful!

Hello Marios
1- There is no problem using language specific words in the URL. Even though it is useful for ranking in that language.
Some info about that: Can my URLs use non-English words? - Google Webmaster Youtube2- There is no SEO difference in adding nor deleting the file extension.
John Mueller confirmed it here: Will removing “.html” from my URLs help my site? - Google Webmaster Youtube3- There is no simple answer to "the best way" to get great rankings. Regarding URLs, I´d suggest to use the keyword focus in the URL.

Blog Page Titles - Page 1, Page 2 etc.
Hi All, I have a couple of crawl errors coming up in MOZ that I am trying to fix. They are duplicate page title issues with my blog area. For example we have a URL of www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/1 and as we have quite a few blog posts they get put onto another page, example www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/2 both of these urls have the same heading, title, meta description etc. I was just wondering if this was an actual SEO problem or not and if there is a way to fix it. I am using Wordpress for reference but I can't see anywhere to access the settings of these pages. Thanks

URL gets cut off in Google
Hi everybody, I got a question concerning my website URLs. It's a large WordPress website and we've got a lot of categorised pages ('parent' / 'child'). Now when I search for a specific page I only get to see the 'parent' name in the URL. The page which I am looking for isn't visible. Only a small arrow which shows me 2 options (in cache and compare). The URLs are not too long. Does anybody know why this happens, and how I can solve it? I added a image for reference. (Where /partners/ is the parent page and /partners/aruba/ isn't visible) Thank you very much. LSsT1Ua

Wordpress versus html and google ranking
My current SEO has always recommended that I take my site to wordpress. I really don't want to move to wordpress. I don't like it... I just like writing code in raw html, css, and script. I feel like I have more control that way. Wordpress just seems like a platform for blogs (I have my blog in wordpress). My question is, do wordpress websites typically rank better? Is there benefit to moving to it?

Penguin 2.1 update, ranking dropped.
Hi, My website was hit by Google's new update like never before, first my ranking dropped back in May when Google rolled out with their second Penguin update, back then i was outsourcing my SEO since most of the time i was working on optimizing my local maps. As soon as noticed my traffic dropped i start doing SEO my self, I removed over optimized keywords on website ( title, meta description) then i analyzed my link profile and found that i had a lot of commercial anchor text linking from spammy websites, mostly blog comments. Its been over 4 months since I used Google's disavow tools in hoping that will help me get my raking back, but i still see these spammy links in my profile, 90% of them are nofollow anyways , so i'm not sure if disavow tool helped me at all. With this Penguin 2.1 update my website ended up on page 4-10 for 90% of my keywords http://screencast.com/t/3bcw8LUxpj Im not sure what would be the best way out this, should i buy a new domain and start fresh?Please let me know if you want to take a look on my link profile and give your opinion. Looking forward to your help!
