Hey dudes, I'm thinking about SEO on my site, and I was thinking of naming the names of my pages as variations of concrete stairs e.g. helical concrete stairs.

 

But now I'm thinking, is this a good idea? As I already have a great domain name concretestairslondon.co.uk So would I be weakening it's seo by putting things after it?

 

My question is, should I eradicate the www. before the url and then choose not to display the directories after the domain name? If that's even possible?

 

So to remove the www. in the htaccess folder would I type:

Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^concretestairslondon\.co\uk [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://concretestairslondon.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

Grateful of any guidance.

I don't think removing www would affect SEO at all. If you're looking to remove the directories in the domain name, you're looking at doing a framed redirect. Some hosts provide this service for free.

The www or non www doesn't matter so long as you use one or the other not both. Using both will clone your site.

I'm confused as to why you would want to remove all urls after? To save repeating yourself I would use the structure concretestairslondon.co.uk/helical/ since it's a type of concrete stair? Unless it's a 1 page website you will need paths of some description for each page.

Thanks Bugs, no it's a multi-page site and I'm a silly boy lol.

 

The reason I was thinking of not displaying pages after, is because we have a great domain (concretestairslondon.co.uk) which is great for our seo and the domain makes up for my lack of skill at web design.
