Looking tonight for some clarification on parent/child pages.

Specifically, I'm wondering if your child pages end up with super long URLs, is it worth it in terms of SEO to have these child pages, or is a shorter URL more important?

    • Hi CatherineMay,

      Can you be more specific? How long are "super long URLs"? Maybe what you consider to be "super long" is really typical length. And why are you choosing to use "super long" URLs? Is there a specific reason you are choosing to use "super long" URLs?

  • I know my (internal pages URL) is very long. I use them for long tailed KWs. Actually - it works better for SEO purposes.
  • I am the same with the use of keywords in my URL titles when working when with child pages. Many times you are going to want to make sure that these pages are being ranked so the use of the keyword will help with that. As far as the length. You can have a long name and still keep it easy to remember.

    • I think a memorable url is more important than a long one, loaded with keywords.
      Keep in mind that Google doesn't like lots of parameters, and they don't like parameter values that are longer than 10 characters.
