          I am working on my website to edit structure with help of Google's search engine optimization starter guide.

          There is really good instruction to define URL structure which help us to perform well over Google's organic search. I have resolved issues regarding category pages but, I have confusion to define best URL structure for product pages. My website's product page URL structure is as follow.

          http://www.vistastores.com/marketumbrellas-californiaumbrella-slpt758-f13-red.html

          http://www.vistastores.com/homefurniture-winsomewood-93630.html

          URL structure is constructed with following terms.

          1. Root Category Name (Market Umbrellas or Home Furniture or ....)

          2. Brand Name

          3. Manufacturer Part Number

          I am not happy with this structure and also not performing well over Google's organic search. I am thinking to include product name or title tag in URL after root domain. But, it may create very long URL and create issues in organic search display.

          Does it really matter to perform well over Google's organic search? How can I define best URL structure for product pages?

            I would recommend dropping the .html / htm extensions from both URLs.

            The first URL is quite long and has too many folders. I am concerned the page requires too many clicks and/or you are stuffing too many keywords in your URL.

              I have done some R & D and come to know about few Good URL structure which I am going to follow.

                That is quite a URL! Definitely not the best structure.

                What exactly did you search for do generate that URL?

                  I'm again on this question. Because, I'm going to make big change on URLs.

                  1. Product Pages

                  2. Narrow by Search Pages.

                  I don't have issue with product pages. But, Narrow by search pages create with too many nesting sub directories as follow.

                  http://www.vistatables.com/chandeliers/shopby/finish-search/other/glass-shade-type-search/other/manufacturer/elk-lighting/material-search/glass/no-of-bulbs-search/3-light/price/3,100/product-type-search/cone-chandeliers/style-search/traditional

                  Can you suggest me best one for this kind of structure? I have read Google official guidelines and Randfish post on it. But, I have just mind set & want to get some additional inputs via this question.

                    I want to add my response on this question after long time. Because, I have made few changes as per discussion. You can see by this excel sheet.

                    I have changed entire structure for URLs and finished following tasks.

                    • 301 Redirect [Old URLs to New URLs]
                    • Multiple XML Sitemaps [Create Category Wise & Submit to Webmaster Tools]
                    • Rel=canonical for duplication

                    I have very simple question for crawling. How Google will act for these changes. Will Google slow down my crawling or not? OR any other inputs which may help me in same direction!

                      Any time I work with a website, I envision what a "world-class" version of the site would look like, then work to make the image a reality.

                      Design your pages for a world-class audience:

                      • If Steven Spielberg wants to find a lamp for a movie scene, are your pages something he would want to look at for ideas?

                      • If Madonna needs a new lamp in her living room, would she ever look at your pages and think "wow, that would go perfect in my home"

                      • Can you imagine any interior design magazines or Good Housekeeping linking to your page and mentioning it?

                      You have lamps which show a retail price of $1000. It's not really a price thing, because you will see models wear inexpensive clothes if they have the right look. The idea is to showcase your products in the best possible light.

                        I still strongly dislike the idea of having product ids in the product title. I am not clear of your reasonings for adding the id to the title. The only place the title is seen is in search results.

                        Social media buttons next to each product is a very good thing.

                            It's really really good answer. But, I am not able to click Good answer... Don't worry about it. 🙂

                            BTW: I am getting your point... I am selling tiki torches with Table Lamps board... If any stall in market for selling tiki torches so banner of canopy will be Tiki Torches... What you think about it?

                            I have list down all suggestions in my diary... as follow.

                            1. Remove initial Number from title tag and add in to end.

                            2. Edit URL structure with name. may be include category name.

                            3. I will add unique content with product details.

                            4. I am going to add more images for products. (What you think about social media buttons like Google plus, Twitter and Facebook?)

                            If any missing so you can add in this list... So, that's great for me.

                              Your site has 5k+ errors, 11k+ warnings. My main concern is the 4k+ duplicate pages. The issue is your pages lack content. You need to add unique, relevant, quality content to every page of your site you wish to be indexed.

                              I would recommend a professional consultation with an SEO. Your site offers very nice products. Your site requires a tremendous amount of SEO attention. Proper SEO can have a dramatic impact on your site's pages being index and your overall sales. If you wish to do-it-yourself, that is possible to but you have a very long way to go.

                                I thinking one solution for it. I am going to add manufacturer part number in Title tag rather than URL...

                                If you take that approach definitely add it to the END of the title, not the beginning. I looked at your site and your page title shows as "53927 Phoenix Copper Waterproof Floor Lamp". Horrible!

                                The idea of a page title is to allow users to know what the page is about. The item id really shouldn't be part of a title.

                                The summary of your site is, you are doing far too much too fast. You are not giving your items and pages the attention they require, and your SEO and sales will suffer for it. Your goal is to offer as many products as you can, as fast as possible, as cheaply as possible. This approach directly conflicts with quality measures.

                                Take one product I found on your site: http://www.vistastores.com/indoorlighting-patiolivingconcepts-53927.html

                                I understand the product page completely. This is one of 7k+ products you offer. It was likely added to your page as part of a database feed. But look at the URL, the page and it's content. Now take a step back and imagine for a moment you had a small, established lamp shop and this product was one which was added to your store today. Think about adding this page to your site.

                                The page URL would probably be: http://www.vistastores.com/phoenix-copper-waterproof-floor-lamp. The URL would be much more helpful all around.

                                Think about the page text. You would describe the lamp itself, maybe offer some examples of it's uses "perfect for intimate lighting in areas near fishtanks, bathrooms, indoor gardens or other areas with higher levels of moisture".

                                Think about the additional pictures you might provide if this lamp was just one of a few items you sold. You would probably have a few nice displays and can show the lamp in each setting.

                                The bottom line is, your wish to sell 15k+ products is driving the quality of your site's pages to very low levels. There is almost no unique information on the pages. If you hired someone to spend 2 hours on each and every page making them personal, adding content, etc. the value of those pages to your customers and to search engines would substantially increase. I understand if you can't afford to do it, but you also need to understand your SEO and conversion challenges you will face as a result of "speeding" so fast with an e-commerce site.

                                  I want to give few answers for your questions. I have already done some of following tasks for my website. But, still not getting... That's why I am too much irritated with it.

                                  1. Have you submitted a sitemap to Google? If not, do so as there are clearly some issues.

                                  My answer: Yup, I have submitted to Google, Yahoo & Bing.

                                  2. Have you performed a test crawl of your site? Use the SEOmoz crawler. You don't need a 100% complete report. You are trying to review your site for crawl errors which impact your whole site.

                                  My answer: Yup, I have checked it. You can find out attachment to know more about it. You can help me more on this section. Because, I am quite new with SEOmoz tools.

                                  3. I would suggest examining your site's navigation. With only 1% of your site getting indexed, there may be a problem.

                                  My answer: Regarding what? Top navigation? Left navigation? Footer? Breadcrumb or HTML sitemap?

                                  4. Do you have any content on your product pages? If you just throw up an image with a product name, the page will likely not be indexed.

                                  My answer: You can look in to know more.

                                  http://www.vistastores.com/indoorlighting-patiolivingconcepts-68267.html

                                  I have added all product details, manufacturer details (But, it's duplicate on many webpages.)

                                  5. Ensure your robots.txt file is not blocking pages which should be indexed.

                                  My answer: Yup, I checked it ... http://www.vistastores.com/robots.txt.... It's perfect... according to my opinion... 🙂

                                  6. Thoroughly examine your Google WMT for errors and issues.

                                  My answer: I will do it... It's remaining.

                                  6133009604_af85d29730_b.jpg

                                    Oh great. Thanks man...

                                    You are right about manufacturer part number. But, I have added it to URL because duplication of product title in website. There are 7000+ products and may be 15000+ products in near future.

                                    Sometimes, It's quite critical or time consuming to develop unique product title for all products. Because, it seems like duplicate title from manufacturers' sheet.

                                    I personally believe to make product live before making unique title for each products. So, right now it's helping me to prevent duplicate product URLs with my website.

                                    I am thinking and 100% implementing your suggestions regarding .html.

                                    Manufacturer part number may be help me to create organic presence during that search. I have also submitted my products over Google shopping and going to disply during manufacturer part number.

                                    I thinking one solution for it. I am going to add manufacturer part number in Title tag rather than URL...

                                    So, URL will construct with root category or sub category + Unique SKU number + product name.

                                    What you think about it? thanks again!!

                                      I am working on such a big eCommerce website with 7000+ products. Website is live since more than 3 months. But, Google have indexed only 94 URLs.

                                      It is important to determine the root issue which is causing your pages not to be indexed. It is not going to be your URLs. Check the following:

                                      1. Have you submitted a sitemap to Google? If not, do so as there are clearly some issues.

                                      2. Have you performed a test crawl of your site? Use the SEOmoz crawler. You don't need a 100% complete report. You are trying to review your site for crawl errors which impact your whole site.

                                      3. I would suggest examining your site's navigation. With only 1% of your site getting indexed, there may be a problem.

                                      4. Do you have any content on your product pages? If you just throw up an image with a product name, the page will likely not be indexed.

                                      5. Ensure your robots.txt file is not blocking pages which should be indexed.

                                      6. Thoroughly examine your Google WMT for errors and issues.

                                        My first suggestion is to drop the ".html" extension at the end of your URLs. It offers no value to you nor your site's users. It just makes the URLs longer and less readable.

                                        My next suggestion is to separate words with hyphens. Use /home-furniture not /homefurniture

                                        With respect to a part number, that is a disadvantage many larger sites have which smaller sites don't experience. Do you NEED to have a part number in the URL? Does it help your employees or customers? Or can you do well with just the product name? If a part number is required, I would at least recommend keeping it down to one number. Your example of "93630" seems fine but your other example of "slpt758-f13" is not desirable.

                                        I would also try to work on your category and product names to ensure they don't duplicate each other. /market-umbrellas/california-umbrella seems unnecessary.

                                        To sum it all up, I would suggest the following for your URLs based on the examples above:

                                        www.vistastores.com/market-umbrellas/california-red

                                        www.vistastores.com/home-furniture/winsome-wood

                                        If product ids are required then add them as -93630

                                          Oh! Great.. First of all, thanks for your prompt reply.

                                          Why I want to do this? That's big question for me. I am working on such a big eCommerce website with 7000+ products. Website is live since more than 3 months. But, Google have indexed only 94 URLs.

                                          I have really big mind bubbles for it. I don't know what's going on with my site & How can I resolve it. My ultimate goal is to improve indexing and index maximum webpages of website.

                                          I come to know about Google's search engine optimization starter guide and assumed that described points can help me to achieve me in same direction.

                                          URL structure is also one part of that PDF version. So, I am going to think about it. I am also thinking about your suggestions.

                                            I personally don't think that changing your URL as you described will result in big increases in rankings on the organic search. Especially considering the work required (and the potential loss of incoming links to URLs you forget to redirect), I wouldn't recommend the change you've described.

                                            If however, you really want to change the URLs, this is the structure I'd advice:

                                            www.example.org/category-name/123-product-name

                                            This allows people to cut a piece of the URL and land of your category overview page, shows them to what category a product belongs and keeps the amount of 'sub levels' to a minimum by including the id in the second level.

                                              Keyword appearing on almost every slug of product pages = over-optimizatio

                                              slug product pages

                                              Hello all, I have an online store, let's say for example I sell forks of all kinds and colors. So naturally, I have 'product category' pages with titles and slugs like: Big forks
                                              Small forks
                                              Plastic forks
                                              Red fork
                                              etc.. And plenty of product pages with slugs and H1 like: Small red fork
                                              Large plastic fork
                                              18th-century fork
                                              etc... Some category pages are well-ranked, others are not, the same goes for product pages. The problem is that for the main keyword, 'fork' (exact query in the search console), my site is completely absent. Google should logically have referenced my homepage (which has links to all categories) for this main keyword. I have also optimized the page for it, without overdoing it. I wonder if it's not because I have a lot of pages with 'fork' in the slug, and perhaps Google thinks it's too much (even though it's logical for this word to be present in all product pages because it's an essential word to describe the product). I wonder if I should not modify half of my product pages to remove the word 'fork' from the slug...(only from the slug, without touching the H1 because removing the word 'fork' would remove its meaning). Do you have any experiences with this kind of issue? I wouldn't ask the question if my homepage was behind the competition, but it's completely absent. Thanks

                                              Hello, all fellow Mozzers,
                                              I have taken over a project and this account, so can't change the username according to MOZ.🙃 We run an eCommerce website, and to me, some of the content is conflicting as some pages have more information content than what I would put in a commerce page, but this is how the boss wants it to work, personally, I would separate the content out.
                                              The page I'm working on:
                                              https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/205-70-14.html
                                              and this is an example of the rest of these types of pages, I will be tackling:
                                              https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/125-15.html I was tasked to improve SEO ranking, when using the MOZ page grader I had a score of 24 out of 27 83% SEO score and 3-page problems. 7th position in Google for the search term 205/70 R14 As it is a generic product listing page, It was pointless to add to the URL and the Internal links I can't reduce as these are links to products, so I went to reduce the
                                              keyword stuffing and making the page content more natural, this improved the page to 25 out of 27, 87% SEO score and 2-page problems. Improvement to 3rd position in Google, but he wants to chase 1st place to be above his competitors, which is fair enough. It turns out that in the past, they have used this type of page to try and get a high ranking for several search terms, as it is a different variation on a tyre size terms are:
                                              205/70 R14, 205/70R14, 205/70 R 14
                                              205/70 X 14, 205/70X14, 205/70 X14
                                              and so on for all the different ways you can search for this tyre size. He is also convinced Google will see these as different search terms, and while I agree to an extent, this causes Keyword Stuffing on the page, which in turn was harming the rankings. Each product listed on the page already has its own title 205/70 R14, 205/70 HR14 and so on, so my question is. What is the best practice for writing content on these types of pages to gain high rankings for several Keywords, and what value does writing the same keyword with spaces and no spaces have? Any help or advice is welcome, so I have a better understanding of how to approach this for this page and the rest of the site. Cheers Mal

                                              Should we rename and update a page or create a new page entirely?

                                              Hi Moz Peoples! We have a small site with a simple site navigation, with only a few links on the nav bar. We have been doing some work to create a new page, which will eventually replace one of the links on the nav bar. The question we are having is, is it better to rename the existing page and replace its content and then wait for the great indexer to do its thing, or perm delete the page and replace it with the new page and content? Or is this a case where it really makes no difference as long as the redirects are set up correctly?

                                              Will it upset Google if I aggregate product page reviews up into a product category page?

                                              We have reviews on our product pages and we are considering averaging those reviews out and putting them on specific category pages in order for the average product ratings to be displayed in search results. Each averaged category review would be only for the products within it's category, and all reviews are from users of the site, no 3rd party reviews. For example, averaging the reviews from all of our boxes products pages, and listing that average review on the boxes category page. My question is, will this be doing anything wrong in the eyes of Google, and if so how so? -Derick

                                              Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service

                                              My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

                                              Hello. A lot of the products I sell on my e-commerce site are very technical. I decided to add PDF data sheets, manuals etc on each of the product pages to improve the customer experience. Now I am not sure if it was the best thing to do.  I have noticed a couple of times that the PDF is out ranking the product page in the SERP.  For a few products, the PDF ranks but the product page doesn't.  Anyone got any ideas?

                                              Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?

                                              Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
