Under "Arguments for flat URLs" #3. "Usability"
"The shorter a URL is, the more user-friendly, sharable, and marketable it is, leading to increased conversion."
As far as user experience goes, I would agree that really long, deeply nested URLs aren't user friendly. But it's still more user friendly than www.somesite.com/2x546zb3/menu.h…...
and that's short.Basically a hierarchical struture is intuitive for the end user. But, at the cost of SEO.
- i prefer short urls with an end point that is keyword rich. i question deeply nested urls bein user friendly as theyre not interactie breadcrumbs. better to havtrooperbill
- /bags/leather-hand-b... (cat)
or
/bags/abc-123-leathe...
over
/bags/handbags/leath...trooperbill - plus this means you can have a product repeated in different categories but always referenced to a static URL (no canonicalisation needed) better for SEOtrooperbill
