Should I include category name in the url?

[bijupro]

Including a category name in your URL can benefit your website, but beware: if you end up with a lengthy slug and category name, it will make sharing the URL more difficult and won’t have much-added value in Google. If your domain name is nice and short and you use short, yet descriptive category names, you can easily include a category in your permalink structure which can benefit your website.

In addition, using a less relevant keyword as the category name is a common mistake that comes from choosing the keyword with the most traffic. Sometimes the highest traffic keyword isn’t necessarily what the pages in the category are about. Select category names that truly describe what the pages contained within it are about.
