Here's what Matt Cutts, (anti-spam head at Google) has to say about keywords in the url:
"It does help little bit to have keywords in the url. It doesn't help so much that you should go stuffing a tonne of keywords into your url..you know if there's a convenient way, it's good for users...that might be worthwhile. Like in my blogs, when I post, I pick the first 4-5 words or 2-3 words related to that post and use them in the url...But you need not pick up 7,8...20 keywords..that looks spammy to the users"

The think that we should put it our mind is, we are doing the page for the reader or consumer and not for the search engines. You can insert the longtail keywords in the meta description or in the site content itself.

A very important location is your URL, this should contain 1 to 3 main keywords. The URL should tell a lot what the website is about but try to make it easy to remember. Before creating a website you need to decide which domain name you want to use and which keywords you want in it, relevant to the whole website. When creating different pages further on you can chose the URL of the page containing another keyword relevant to the page. Be aware that good keyword domains are often already taken, be sure to check this when looking for the right domain.
