Naming Pages
What's in a Name?
Page names are very important because they show up at the top of the actual page, show up in bookmarks, and are displayed in the search engines:
Page Naming Tips
Here are some general tips on how to best name a page. Every page is different, so there are exceptions to the rule, but following these tips should help your site.- Page names should be short and to the point. Shoot for page names between 2-3 words, but be specific. For example, if you make a page for "dog grooming," you should name it "Dog Grooming," instead of just "Grooming." This will help people who are looking for the topic "dog grooming" find your site on the web.
- Keep page names direct, clear, and concise—you want visitors to know at a glance what you’re page is about. Keep the crafty text for lower down the page, rather than in the actual page name. For example, on an iPhone site, titling a page "A Match Made in Heaven" won't do as well as "iPhone Features".
- Page names automatically show up in in Search Engines, bookmarks, Wetpaint freshcoats and other places across the Web. That's why it is especially important your page name will make sense even out of the context of your own site.
- Avoid overly long page names: If they wrap to three or more times in the navigation bar, consider shortening them to two lines, at most.

If a page name is put in certain fonts, like those you get on messletters.nl, does it still show up if they type it in a search bar? Like if the page name is ƒαηтαѕу ¢нαяα¢тєя ιηƒσямαтιση will it still show up if its typed in as Fantasy Character Information?

Dear Jeremy,
When creating pages and sub pages we are able to view the name/names of the main section. However, after adding keywords when the sub page is actually created, the url of the page reflects only the name of that sub-section. eg.I have created sub-sub page of the main headings. URL of a wiki is picked up from the page name and not as we understand as a sub-sub section of the topic. Although when one creates a sub-sub page, at the time of creating a page it is indicated as follows: eg CLASSIFICATION OF TOPICS >Promoting Health/Preventing Disease>General health>longevity as in www.helpebook.wetpaint.com wiki on health. Can you help please ? Why are the urls being truncated for the sub-sections ? |
