      Does anyone knows why Google is displaying my pages path instead of the URL in the search results, i discoverd that while am searching using a keyword of mine then i copied the link http://www.smarttouch.me/services-saudi/web-services/web-design and found all related results are the same, could anyone one tell me why is that and is it really differs? or the URL display is more important than the Path display for SEO!

        They've understood the navigation of the site, and are now showing each path of the nav as a link to that individual page/category - this is good - you're basically getting mini site links on each serp listing, which should help to send traffic to these category pages. The display looks good, and has the potential of sending visitors to multiple pages on your site, so I don't see a problem here - do you?

          Thanks Mark,

          That was really useful 🙂 .. i also discovered this issue right after i posted my Question, hehe, i knew its a kind of rich snippets coming from the breadcrumbs i used to display on my website.

          Many Thanks

          • Why does Google display the home page rather than a page which is better optimised to answer the query?
