    For a general shopping site that sells products from a variety of product categories;

    Is it better to limit the depth of your directory structure for SEO purposes?
    IE;
    Root_folder/shopping/computers-index.htm/
    Root_folder/shopping/desktops.htm
    Root_folder/shopping/clothing-index.htm
    Root_folder/shopping/sweaters.htm

    Or would it be better to take advantage of the opportunity to name the additional folders (in a deeper folder structure) with good keywords?
    IE;
    Root_folder/shopping/computers/computers-index.htm
    Root_folder/shopping/computers/desktops.htm
    Root_folder/shopping/clothing/clothing-index.htm
    Root_folder/shopping/clothing/sweaters.htm
