Fantastic, thank you. &nbsp;I forgot I can manually change the links without affecting the product name. &nbsp;That will solve it nicely. &nbsp;Thanks for the advice.

Hi There<br />
<br />
I just needed some advice as to the best way to organise Magento categories and url settings. &nbsp;Magento allows two options, to use the full category path as url or the product name.<br />
<br />
I set up categories with keywords but I think I made a mistake setting up subcategories with keywords too so for 10% of items the url may look like:_<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.xxx" rel="ugc">www.xxx</a>. com/e-cigarette-kits/e-cig<wbr />arette-sta<wbr />rter-kits/<wbr />ego-e-ecig<wbr />arette-sta<wbr />rter-kit if using full path or <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.xxx" rel="ugc">www.xxx</a>. xom/ego-e-ecigarette-start<wbr />er-kit &nbsp; &nbsp;if using product.<br />
<br />
The full path looks spammy 10% of the time but for 90% of products its better as the product name/url contains no keyword. &nbsp;Eg<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.xxx" rel="ugc">www.xxx</a>. com/e-liquid/menthol flavour<br />
<a href="http://www.xxx" rel="ugc">www.xxx</a>&nbsp;.com/menthol flavour<br />
<br />
<br />
I can either rename the subcategories to avoid keyword overuse or just use the short product url.<br />
<br />
Any advice gratefully received<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Hi There

I just needed some advice as to the best way to organise Magento categories and url settings.  Magento allows two options, to use the full category path as url or the product name.

I set up categories with keywords but I think I made a mistake setting up subcategories with keywords too so for 10% of items the url may look like:_

www.xxx. com/e-cigarette-kits/e-cigarette-starter-kits/ego-e-ecigarette-starter-kit if using full path or 

www.xxx. xom/ego-e-ecigarette-starter-kit    if using product.

The full path looks spammy 10% of the time but for 90% of products its better as the product name/url contains no keyword.  Eg

www.xxx. com/e-liquid/menthol flavour
www.xxx .com/menthol flavour


I can either rename the subcategories to avoid keyword overuse or just use the short product url.

Any advice gratefully received

Thank you.

Magento Categories SEO Url structure - keyword stuffing

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of web content in search engines using an understanding of search engines' processes and algorithms. Also known as "natural" or "organic" search, it is distinct from paid web advertising. Performance is typically measured by testing the appearance of a website for targeted search terms, and more specifically, ranked positions in search for important keywords. Techniques focus on content optimization, technical optimization and link building.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the trading in products or services using computer networks, such as the Internet. E-commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer (EFT), supply chain management, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Use this topic to discuss online shopping carts, online marketplaces, and e-commerce platforms.

E-Commerce

Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP for e-commerce web sites. Magento employs the MySQL/MariaDB relational database management system, the PHP programming language, and elements of the Zend Framework. It applies the conventions of object-oriented programming and model–view–controller architecture. Magento also uses the entity–attribute–value model to store data.
