Long URL in listing job portal

PeterSEO

Hello

I have job portal and I am listing job offers by:

regions, position, sector, language skill

For example, when user searchs job in Bratislava, Programmer, information technology, english.

Title:Job in Bratislava, Programmer, Information technology, english

I know, that URL is too long and no good for SEO.

Is it solution?

When user chooses max. 2 items for example: www.presbium.sk/bratislava/programmer/

than I put in every next links atribute nofollow and google will index only pages with max. 2 items: www.presbium.sk/bratislava/ or www.presbium.sk/programmer/ or www.presbium.sk/bratislava/programmer/

but not www.presbium.sk/bratislava/protrammer/english/, because english link has atribut nofollow.

And I want to ask, what is the best solution for SEO when I am listing job offers by

regions, position, sector, language skill and I have than long URL and Title

Title:Job in Bratislava, Programmer, Information technology, english

Hi Peter.

I can't say there is a consensus on best practices in this area. You may hear varying opinions.

There are two pieces of information I can share with certainty:

A URL is not the place to try to stuff with every keyword associated with your job listing
You should not use nofollow in the manner you suggested

My first suggestion would be to use common abbreviations. IT instead of Information Technology, EN for English, etc.

Next, consider removing unnecessary categories. Are both IT and Programmer helpful? Do you have any Programmers who are not under the IT category?

You could also consider combining categories.

Some possible URLs:

These are just some thoughts and the actual implementation would vary based on your site.
