YOAST / Stop Words / Best Practise
-
Hello I have an SEO related question – thank you in anticipation of any help you can give….
First, I do understand that search engines (Google, anyway) ignores “stop words” in page titles… (and URLS?)
Currently I am working on a Word Press web site (with YOAST plug-in) – and my goal is to get a decent ranking for Sesame Oil and its health benefits.
Anyway, if I create a page with the title “Sesame Oil is Good For You”
WordPress will generate the page with this URL
https://www.website.com/sesame-oil-good/
If I then use the expression “Sesame Oil is Good For You” as the YOAST “Focus Word / Phrase” –
…YOAST will “mark me down” because the Focus Word / Phrase is not present in the page URL
So I am left wondering, what is best?
1) To manually change the page URL from
https://www.website.com/sesame-oil-good/ to:
https://www.website.com/sesame-oil-is-good-for-you/(So that YOAST is “more satisfied – the focus phrase is now in the page URL and we got green ink yay! – Or)
2) Keep stop words out of the page URL
-
at all costs?
(or this particular cost, anyway)
Thank you again for any help or advice!
