Does having keywords in the url help to improve ranking/search engine positioning in Google

I don't think that using keywords in your url help you to get higher rankings in search engines. If you want to get higher rankings in search engines, you have to optimize your website. Especially, you have to insert your keywords in your web pages titles.

i think there are cases keywords in url helps but not that much, to gain good ranking you have to work your SEO thing!

For me keywords within url are also important. Take a look at search engine's results, you will see the keywords are highlighted in title, description and in URL. That means website's URL also checked by SEs if they include keywords.

When you do your site optimization, pay attention to the keywords relevancy to your content and URL. BTW, keywords are also very important within those URLs you use within your content too.

Have a great day,
Peter

Insertion of keywords in URL certainly helps in achieving higher ranks, however, it consitutes only 1% weightage on the subject.

Keywords in URL can improve SERP. Especially when you get links from the others, keywords in the URL can be easilly included in link TAG.

Yes they do. Nuff said

Yes they can. However, probably not much at all. You have to consider all of the various pieces of information that an engine uses in their algorthims. So if you have a site named manatee-county-schools.com, that is information that the user would see and the engines would also. However, they also know that plenty of people have tried to fake this, and forced the engines to lower any positive proportions to the algorthims.

So, yes...use key word to help the reader, but don't expect much benefit from any SEO.

Hope that helps, Stuart

I think keywords in URL can help you to get better SERP. But repeated keywords in URL maybe get banned.
