What are SEO stop words summary

Stop words SEO are words such as ‘at’, ‘any’, ‘before’, ‘which’. While having putting together some New York City pictures for my NYC Moments website I took the other day I found myself learning more about SEO. I put together a little list of stop words in SEO. Using them in your permalink is therefore a waste of valuable space.

Removing stop words from your permalink will give you more space for keywords.
