      We have a URL structure question: Because we have websites in multiple countries and in multiple languages, we need to add additional elements to our URL structure.

      Of the two following options, what would be better for SEO?

      Option 1: www.abccompany.com/abc-ca-en/home.htm

      Option 2: www.abccompany.com/home.abc.ca.en.htm

          Option one is better because of the punctuation. Hyphens are better than periods.

                I would suggest following Google's guide to the whole thing. I agree option 1 is your best bet of the 2.
