Hey guys, What is better for SEO, shorter and sexier keyword rich URL's like this: http://www.domain.com/short-and-sexy Or Directory style URL's with folders giving a more themed approach http://www.domain.com/relevant-folder/short-and-sexy Does this matter for SEO at all, I mean with a hierarchical approach to SEO and a tight theme or is it all about the page itself and the inbound links?
I have never used the folder approach, but for large website, i would see it beneficial if the folder was keyword oriented.
