    Dear All,

    Can you please advise me on how to build the linkstructure for a download site? For this site there are categories and within them downloads. I also thought of stuffing the url with some extra keywords.

    The structure for a categorie I have in mind is:

    www.downloadsite.com/software/categorie/keyword1/keyword2

    The structure for a download I have in mind is:

    www.downloadsite.com/software/categorie/namedownload/keyword1/keyword2


    Thank you for your advice in advance!

    Regards,

    Thomas

    i think the shortest url is the best . /keyword1/keyword2 option is the best in your opinion but if i were you, i use sitename.com/keyword-itemID ;)

    Hi All,

    Thank you for your advice.
    Listening to your advice I maybe stuffed too much keywords in the url.
    Because the domain already consists a keyword.
    The main categorie software is a keyword.
    Then there is the category which is a keyword.
    The download itself is a keyword.
    And on top of that I stuff the link with two extra keywords...

    Is it too much? Acceptable?

    Regards,

    Thomas
