I'd put them all in a categories subdirectory. "The Art of SEO" from O'Reilly (October 2009) advises on page 210: "A URL should contain no unnecessary folders (or words or characters, for that matter). They do not add to the user experience of the site and can in fact confuse users." They do give examples of URLs with embedded keywords such as "/brands/adidas" (also p. 210) so I interpret their advice as being okay to have some folders as long as they serve a specific purpose, contribute to the SEO strategy, and are as minimal as possible. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335460 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
