Should I include keywords in my page links?

Just started working on a static html site and was wondering if I should include my keywords as part of the page link url?

For instance, if i had a game site, my page title might say: my-free-games.html.

Would that help me rank higher in Google?

Yes definitely, having the main keywords in the link is crucial when it comes to better ranking. Just make sure you also have a related Title, description and keywords for that page. As well as relevant content.

No, these will not help you whatsoever. Unless I'm wrong and forgetting something then file names will not affect anything. The only time that helps is when it's like /words_here/ but if that was /words_here.php then you get nothing from it.

Hi,
We agree with the advice given by user "Rancid", however, Google frowns on excessive usage
ex.www.domainname.com/seo/localseo/serp

The better ones would be
www.domainname.com/seo/
www.domainname.com/localseo

sometime up to second level is ok.
www.domainname.com/seo/localseo/

This is new to me because my understanding of keywords is that it is included in the tagging when you upload the content to a new web page. If the name of the page includes the keyword I don’t think it should have an advantage with the search engines because the keyword is part of the name and it has no other meaning. But with the page title I guess it has an influence with the search engines.
