    For a little bit of background....

    My current structure is:
    www.domain.com/CATEGORY-Keyword1-Keyword2/Title (doesn't rank well)
    www.domain.com/CATEGORY-Keyword1-Keyword2/ (just a place holder, does not exist)
    www.domain.com/Keyword1Keyword2/Category (ranks very well)

    What I want to do:
    I am thinking of changing...
    www.domain.com/CATEGORY-Keyword1-Keyword2/Title TO www.domain.com/Keyword1Keyword2/Category/Title

    Because the current pages for www.domain.com/CATEGORY-Keyword1-Keyword2/Title are not ranking well at all. Some pages don't even get indexed.

    Would you recommend this change or should I keep it the same?
    It would be a bit more of deep linking but at least the directory up exists in all folders and the page before would have PR.

    I appreciate ALL responses!!!

    Remember I am adding TITLE at the end of the category. That is what you meant right?

    Category is needed to classify even further. Those pages are ranking so I will not remove them.

    YEs, you said it right. I meant title at the end.
