Gidday All,

I have a toys and games website, and have installed cdseo.

When creating a url what is the best way to go about it.

For example my product LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer

www.toysetc.com.au/hobbies-toys-games/lego/star-wars/imperial-star-destroyer-6211.html

1) Do I get any benefit from having the hobbies-toys-games in every product page url.

Would this be a better way to write the urls? Note i have also removed the subfolders.

www.toysetc.com.au/p/lego-star-wars-imperial-star-destroyer-6211.html

subsequent product urls would then be

www.toysetc.com.au/p/lego-star-wars-y-wing-fighter-7608.html
www.toysetc.com.au/p/lego-star-wars-imperial-landing-craft-7659.html

Regards Colin

www.toysetc.com.au/p/lego-star-wars-imperial-star-destroyer-6211.html

is far superior to

www.toysetc.com.au/hobbies-toys-games/lego/star-wars/imperial-star-destroyer-6211.html


The latter sounds very deep and would take ages to get indexed and recached.

I think the shorter URL is good and will be effective.

Change the /p/ to /toys/

I would also stick the product code at the end instead of the 6211 if possible. Thats what a lot of people search for - in my industry anyway.
