We examined this statement in our search engine ranking study. For example, when searching for the search term "shoes", we counted the URLs "www.nice-shoes.com" and "www.axandra.com/shoes/index.htm" as URLs that contain the queried search term in the URL. We tested a total of 1721 search terms on AltaVista and analysed 17,210 Web page URLs for this fact.

The result on AltaVista was that 81.78% of all #1 results on Altavista did not contain the queried search term in their URL. 18.22% of all #1 results on AltaVista did contain the queried search term in their URL. We found similar results for positions 2-10 on AltaVista.

It seems that it might help a bit to include a search term in the URL of a Web page to obtain a better ranking onsearch engines. This factor should also be considered when optimizing your site for search engines.
