Experiment With Using ONLY Your Keyword in Your URL

A few years ago I had an idea:

I knew that short, keyword-rich URLs were best for SEO.

And then I thought: “why not make my URL the exact keyword that I want to rank for?”.

And it worked! That’s why today I (mostly) use URLs like: example.com/my-exact-keyword

Obviously, if you keyword stuff, these URLs can lead to over-optimization. But when combined with moderate on-page SEO, I’ve found that keyword-only URLs help.
