Hi, have done a quick search, but couldn't find what i'm looking for, but i'm sure its been written about already - how important from an seo perspective is the length of your url structure?
On the one hand, having some of your keywords in the structure should help, but on the other, i'm sure i've read that if there is to many layers, the search engines may be confused or not dig down to the bottom level.
Having keywords in your url's can definately help from an SEO perspective, as well as the fact the keywords are highlighted in the urls in the search results so it draws peoples eyes to them.
In theory, you should never need to go more than 3 levels deep eg

With the improved crawling abilities now available, depth of your site isn't as important as it was. The ease with which a spider can trace a path from the home page to a deep page AND BACK AGAIN is more relevant now. Thats not to say you can layer up sites with keyword stuffing only directory layers, and expect it all to work brilliantly - but it you need to go to 4 or 5 layers, say, don't worry about it
