      Hi,

      I am about to launch a home decorating ideas website.

      I am stuck to determining the ideal URL structure, and the options are:

      Category:

      myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/master-suite/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/kitchen/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/living
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/master-suite/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/living-room/

      Post:

      myhomedecoratingsite.com/interior/beautiful-master-suite/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/interior/cozy-living-room/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/master-suite/beautiful-modern-suite/
      myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/living/cozy-contemporary-living

      Are these any good? What your best suggestion?

      Thanks in advance for your inputs.

      Al

        I'd base the site structure/taxonomy on the user experience and the relevant content that you have for the different categories and sub categories. The main thing is to ask yourself this question " will the user benefit from my site if i have all my site info divided into these categories and sub categories.

        In your case for the category i would suggest myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/master-suite/                    (however instead of the keyword "room" try searching for another keyword. For the post , i'd suggest myhomedecoratingsite.com/room/master-suite/beautiful-modern-suite/ . The taxonomy also depends on how easy it is for the user to find your content or drill down with the options provided from the category to the sub category. Use breadcrumb links on all the pages.

        • What's better now? A super-short URL structure or a slightly longer, more descriptive URL structure?
