      Hey guys/gals

      I have tried asking this very specific question 3-4 times already and some how my specific question seems to be getting side tracked and my very specif question pertaining to my URL structure keeps getting bypassed and overlooked.

      I am wondering about if this URL structure would become a possible issue in the somewhat near future with GOOGLE considering what I have seen go down in the SEO world the past 2 years.

      Does this URL Structure  look SPAMMY?

      www.pcmedicsoncall.com/computer-repair/laptop-repair/laptop-screen-repair/

      Below is a Screen shot of the Site which I designed where I have created a SILO Site Architecture. .....PLEASE... Look at the Picture

      Thank you

      Marshall

        Marshall,

        Yes, this is moving into the "too much" realm.  So for example, I would suggest that the URLs and Breadcrumb navigation be refined like this:

        http://www.pcmedicsoncall.com/computer-repair/

        http://www.pcmedicsoncall.com/computer-repair/laptop/

        http://www.pcmedicsoncall.com/computer-repair/laptop/screen/

        Then in the Page titles, I might go with

        Computer Repair | PC Medics On Call

        Laptop Repair | Laptop Computer Repair | PC Medics On Call

        Laptop Screen Repair | PC Medics On Call

        Or depending on keyword research alternately:

        Computer Repair Services | PC Medics On Call

        (this one above covers "Computer Repair", "Computer Repair Services" and to a lesser degree "PC Repair", "PC Repair Services" and even "PC Computer Repair Services")

        Laptop Repair Services | PC Medics On Call

        Laptop Screen Repair Services | PC Medics On Call

        (of course your actual seeding should be based on keyword research and your particular goals)...

          God bless you for answering my question! LOL.. it's been a bit of an ordeal getting a basic assessment from a different set of eyes on this question. Thank you. : D

          Sure, I do my keyword research  and have been very detailed on my previous postings about my skill set and abilities to the sum of 300+ words but that had proven to yield an unsatisfactory result getting a straight answer on this particular question on two separate Threads that I started so I figured that I would just act like a layman and see if it would work out better instead explaining with so much detail this go around.

          I Guess, I am too long in the tooth?

          Here are the other threads

          http://www.seomoz.org/q/geo-target-location-in-your-url-structure

          and here as well

          http://www.seomoz.org/q/need-very-urgent-advice-on-wedsite-migration-questions-please

          Thank you for the extra set of eyes on this question Alan as the search landscape has changed so much and I am doing a Company re-branding and need to get this right without the possibility of google slapping me later down the road despite the fact that I do nothing but quality white hat SEO and always have.

          Just don't need the aggravation Ya know?

          Sincerely,

          Marshall Thompson
