      Hi Mozers!

      I have a Shopify store (of which there are many advantages) however one big SEO disadvantage, is that my URL structures contravene all Moz advice on dynamic URL structure and whats more I am reminded about this every week when I have a Moz site crawl and I have a batch of URL's that are longe than the 75 characters.

      A Shopify URL will run www.domain name.com/collections/collection-name/product/product-name. According to advice a it should be www.domain name.com/collection-name/product-name - Don't even get started on sub-collections!

      I sell portfolio books, album etc and keepsake memory boxes (so long keywords) AND, I have a long(ish) business name.

      So, For user experience and keyword length, do I just ignore trying to achieve a dynamic URL under 75 characters?

      When I have asked Shopify, the say their URL's are an integral part of the "Ruby on Rails" system, so nothing can be done

      Or can it ??? I can't be the only Moz member with this issue can I ??

      • For an e-commerce product category page that has several funnels to specific products, for SEO purposes does it matter whether the category page's overview content is above or below those funnels?
