Domain Name Length of a URL
Rusty Brick on Domian Name Lenght Is a shorter URL is better then a longer URL. What about the URL structure?
Having a URL that looks like: http://www.domain.com/blog/2005/08/22/where-is-carmen-sandiego
versus http://www.domain.com/blog/where-is-carmen-sandiego
Will not make a noticeable difference in your rankings. What the engines mean when they say a shorter file path structure is in terms of site navigation. For example, if I literally have to click from the main site, to the blog, to the 2005 section, to the August section, to the 22nd day section and then click on where-is-carmen-sandiego - then that is bad. But if I put a link (i.e the first, long, one listed above) on the index page, to a long URL, then the search engines will crawl it and index it well. The shorter the click path to a specific file, the better off you are. The length of the URL itself, is not a major factor in terms of search engines.
