Keywords in directories or page names

[Bubb1es]

I'm just in the middle of constructing a new site with search engine optimization in mind using asp.

What is more successful in ranking on Google or any search engine;

www.domainname.co.uk/keyword-keyword-keyword/
or
www.domainname.co.uk/keyword-keyword-keyword.asp
or
www.domainname.co.uk/keyword-keyword-keyword.html

Should there also be a limit to the number of keywords used in a url?

I don't know - sorry - but if I did, as soon as
I tell you, Google will change it's algorithm
accordingly.

I imagine this sort of thing constantly changes.

Or, maybe there is a definite answer and it
will come soon from another a4uforum member...

Thanks,

Judging by the lack of replies, I don't think anyone else knows either.

Nevermind, I give one of the techniques a go and hope for the best.

Those that do know probably arent telling. Lot of lurkers on this forum

personally didn't reply cos i never looked at it like that.

I know there was one study that thought there was a slight -ve impact on google results from keywords in urls (with a very large sample size) but this may well be compensated by higher clickthrough rates from users seeing that the page is about what they're looking for.

however I know the new msn search likes keywords in urls so it's probably still worth doing
