Do you think this would be penalized? Possible url stuffing.

kernelpaniker · 10-27-2010, 06:43 PM

I am being "forced" into a url structure like this:
keyword.com/keyword-products/keyword-keyword2-videos/product.php
I had originally built it like:
keyword.com/products/videos/products.php

I need some other opinions on this.

How are you "forced" into that?

dburk · 10-27-2010, 08:54 PM

Hi kernelpaniker,

Don't panic, keywords in your URL is a good thing.

jesus72knight · 10-27-2010, 09:35 PM

Yeah right. What made you go for that idea in the first place?

ru83n · 10-27-2010, 10:58 PM

To me, the url is fine. You may use this url structure as part of your SEO strategy.

Hi,

You have to forced for this? why

theentry · 10-28-2010, 02:54 AM

Explain the forced part.. also the second one (shorter) looks way better and you don't need to repeat your main keyword in every directory

I am not a freelancer, hence the "forced" part. Someone who signs checks decided that it needs to be a certain way.

I personally think a keyworded directory structure looks spammy but from what I have researched, its not penalized.

from what I understand keywords in your link aren't a big deal. You just want to avoid randomly stuffing them on your web pages.

example you would not want a block on your site like

keywrod1 - keyword 2 - keyword 3 - etc - etc -etc

Do you mean we would not want it to be a block just like your signature?
