Which of these url structures is better practice


I just had a quick question about URL structures. Out of these structures which is more commonly used, and should be used more for best practice. Or if you had any other ways that are even better, that would be appreciated.

Create all add type pages with a prefix of add- and then the rest

http://example.com/add-account

or create a folder for all adding functionality

http://example.com/add/account

Solution

  • From a SEO point of view, I would think that add-account would be nice. But like Joël said, if you are focusing on a sane URL structure, /account/add would suffice, and I do not think it would be worse for SEO.

    It's not that important for an account page anyway. If it were a clothes shop I would recommend example.com/products/women/dresses/red-dress-with-flowers as the URL. Not women-dresses-red-dress-with-flowers :)
