    Hello,

    at this time I have URL like:
    
    www.domain.com/windows/category/12/Communications
    www.domain.com/windows/file/1000/Vista-Transformation-Pack
    www.domain.com/windows/download/1000/Vista-Transformation-Pack
    
    Code (markup):
    Are my URL-s to long (to many "directories") ?

    Should i change them to something like:


    
    www.domain.com/category/12/Communications
    www.domain.com/download/1000/Vista-Transformation-Pack
    
    Code (markup):
    I can remove "Windows" part of URL. Would that be better for seo?

    www. domain. com/download/1000/Vista-Transformation-Pack wow be the best because you are offering downloads and the same in category would help out, rather than having the word 'Category'

    All these are url's examples are gud. You cud go any one of them. Just choose according your page needs and also keep inmind your targeted keyword for that page. You shud target your main keyword in your page name.

    Yes, you can change your URL from "www.domain.com/windows/category/12/Communications" to "www.domain.com/category/12/Communications". It will not only become search friendly but shorter URLs can be also easily shared.

    My main doubt is should i remove word "windows" from URL?
    Then my url will be one directory shorter. I found somewhere that Google indexes 2-3 directories depth and my url is 4 directories
