Hi all,
I'm building a brand new site, and although there is a well defined information hierarchy to my content, I am contemplating making all URLs (except for the domain) a single slash in depth (for example, domain/topic-page).
The rationale is that when seen on the search results page, the shorter URL will make it easier for users to understand what the page is about, and will make any keywords used more prominent. This in turn should improve click-through rates.
The information hierarchy would be communicated to the user and search engines by way of breadcrumbs.
Does this conform to good SEO practice? Could this harm the rank of pages?
Thanks!
