Hi ... Karen has answered your question very simply for you .. but I'll try too ..

Firstly .. if I am creating a contact page for my website I am going to call it contact .. the name of the page is best kept simple .. granted, it should relate to what is on the page .. if you are showing apples, oranges and bananas, you would name each of these pages according to that .. but again, keep it simple .. all small letters, no spaces between the words unless the words are joined together by the use of the underscore symbol. Naming your pages and saving them and then publishing ..

Now .. on your page properties you will find areas where you can type in a page title - this page title is important - this is the area that you want to use words that are relative to your page - each page should be titled differently - the page title is what you find when you are searching .. you can be more lengthy here - phrases, etc., can be used .. use the words that someone might input into their search to find a site with what you offer.

Again, the title you apply to your navigation buttons should be simple, one word if possible, however not always possible .. again, keep this simple .. and of course the link applied is your url including the name of the page followed by .html .... - in all cases, other than your main page which is called index and you do not use the .html - again .. you would title this index page relevant to what your page contains.

I am not sure what this is:
index.professional-organizer/household-spaces_paper-control_home-offices.bvp

But it is totally wrong ..

you never use the .bvp ever .. there is never any reason to use the type of file that the blue voda website builder uses in a name or a title or anywhere for that matter.

The blue voda website builder converts these .bvp files into .html files on the way from your computer to your voda host server ... and then you have a webpage live on the internet ..

You can read a few of my tips if you like, they can be found in my signature here ..

Name, save and publish as index - title - Professional Household Organizer | Paper Control for Home Offices | Space Saving for Paper ... or whatever it is that you do and find relevant and how you want people to find your site .. retrieve via your website url .. (url is the address - your domain name)

Remember - naming - no spaces

But adding a title can be as we write our words .. just normal ..

I do not believe it is necessary to rename your pages and republish .. unless you have called something grapes and it is really an apple ..

Keywords need to be the words on your page .. after all they are KEY right? So use them well on your page, three or more times each, choose 10 - 12 keywords, etc.,

Hope this helps .. Your website is a book .. .. and it's a much longer version of what you might be able to afford for a commercial .. so use it well!!
