URL Strucutre

[Paul78]

Hi there,

Need some advice please on URL structure. I have been doing SEO for quite sometime now, however one thing that always get me is URL structure. I have a decision to make, its either:

URL 1   /conditions/allergies/food/

URL 2   /conditions/allergies-food/

Lets say i am optimizing for the key-phase "Food Allergies" what do you think is best practice? I know that this is not a major factor in gaining high SERPs & maybe i'm thinking about it too much, however your input would be really helpful.

Kind Regards,

Either choice is just fine. If you have "allergies" as a category with many sub-categories, I would recommend the folder approach but either way will work.

I'd say do catalogs as category and subcategory.

Hi Ryan / Ramp,

Yes, I think so also, and watching that video from Matt Cutts confirmed that, it just makes sense plus it looks nice

So /conditions/allergies/food/ it is, now i can concentrate on producing great content.

Thanks again
