Question
I have been told to use longer more descriptive url's for product pages, but these pages do not seem to rank well. I have tried a few shorter url's which seem to rank better. eg;
Black 3/4 leggings - High waist tights
v
Gym Tights Black with Red Banding SUPPLEX Fabric For Comfortable Fit
I have about 35 product pages, with half not seeming to rank at all, so looking for ways to improve this.
Answer
The length of the URL has very little relevance to rankings. I prefer to use shorter URLs for better readability and user experience. Long URLs are impossible to type in manually, where, if necessary, short ones can be.
