      Hi All,

      Im designing the url and im confused, need your experts advice

      engine-oil is a category I will display car truck, bike oils only
      Car  > in this page I will display engine oils only related to car
      Hyundia> in this page I will display engine oils only related to hyundia
      i30 > in this page I will display engine oils only related to i30 models
      Petrol > in this page I will display engine oils only related to petrol

      So im planning for www.xyz.com/engine-oil/car/Hyundia/i30/Petrol

      or should I write like this below

      xyz.com/c-engine-oil.html
      xyz.com/c-car-engine-oil.html
      xyz.com/c-hyundia--car-engine-oil.html
      xyz.com/c-hyundia-i30-car-engine-oil.html
      xyz.com/c-hyundia-i30-Petrol-car-engine-oil.html

        It is also going to depend how your CMS handles this. If it was me I would start by having categories for Motorcycles, Cars and Trucks (naming could depend on best keywords), then have the sub category (Engine Oil, Batteries, Tyres) followed by the product.

        An example of this would look like:

        • xyz.com/car/engine-oil/castrol-30w-50
        • xyz.com/truck/batteries/exide-battery

        If you have a lot of content and want to rank for Hyundai i30 car engine products you could have a page for that too.

        • xyz.com/car/engine-oil/hyundai-i30-engine-oil

        Just set up the structure in a way you can expand on.

          Thanks.. Dont you feel

          xyz.com/car/engine-oil/hyundai-i30-engine-oil

          engine oil is keyword stuffing here as used 2twice? or

          this will be better

          xyz.com/car/engine-oil/hyundai-i30

            It's definitely not considered keyword stuffing but if you prefer a shorter URL then use the second option.
