What is the best SEO URL design for keywords with a period?
-
Quick question,
Assume my keyword is the German soccer team "1.FC Nuremberg". What is the best URL design to target that keyword?
or
Any thoughts? Does it make - even a tiny - difference?

As mentioned, the keyword is 1.FC Nuremberg which is naturally what users are typing into Google.
-
Depends how people are typing it in to Google.
-
I would go for the "domainname.com/1-fc-nuremberg" version
Reason, google can pic words out of a url, but I doubt they can pick out that you want 1 and fc to be seperate.

Does Bitly hurt your SEO?
I often use bit.ly or Google URL shortener in links when other websites post my articles so I can track clicks. However, I am thinking this may HURT my SEO given that it is taking away a back link to my website. Is that logic correct ? If so, what is a good way to be able to track clicks if a website posts your article without jeopardizing the SEO value?

SEO Tomfoolery
Oh Hai, I recently changed the permalink structure on my Wordpress based site, southwestbreaks.co.uk from the standard ?p=123 to a more SEO chummy /%postname%/. As a result, my site has completely dropped off the board for all my previously well ranked search phrases. Having since gotten into SEOmoz a bit more, I can see there are WP plugins available that apparently would've done this a lot more smoothly. I'd be most grateful if someone could explain if this drop off is just temporary, or have I somehow entered Google's shun book? The site has been like this for about 48 hours. Thanks, Tim
