    Hi,

    I'm about to rename some of my files and folders.

    I want to optimise for 'flights to montpellier'

    Should the file address be:

    /Languedoc/flights/to-montpellier.php

    or

    /Languedoc/flights/montpellier.php

    I.e. is the 'to' helpful at all?

    Thanks,

    - Greg

    Adding the "to" to the URL is not really helpful. I believe that the word "to" is a stopword, so it's ignored by the search engines anyway.

    Hi There,

    I think you should leave those 'stop-words' as mentioned
    here above away.

    As you search on Google and use to/and or so, they are
    automatically leaved out of the search string.
