Looking for Examples of Really Really Big Content Sites
I am trying to look at big sites--really big sites--to see how they structure everything for comparison. More specifically, big content sites that have content spanning multiple topics.
The ones I have been able to think of so far are:
about.com (which uses an URL structure completely different than my plan)
ezinearticles.com (and other article sites)
Others?
Right now, I am thinking about an URL structure like this:
http://www.mydomain.dom/category/subcategory/topic/subtopic/subsubtopic/
http://www.mydomain.dom/growing-money-trees-from-seed-coins.html
That's my thinking anyway. I'm hoping to take a look at a few more big sites to see how they manage things. This URL structure is kind of scarily long, but it makes logical sense and, I think, will be easier for readers to follow. Plus, in some cases, I can have a shorter URL that redirects.
For example, I might have:
http://www.subsubtopic.dom/
http://www.mydomain.dom/category/subcategory/topic/subtopic/subsubtopic/
Anyway, what suggestions do you have for large sites that I can take a look at?
