Types of Structure: URL
What is URL Structure?
The naming and ordering of the URLs within a website. Website URLs
should be easy for both search engines and people to understand.

“A site's URL structure should be as simple as possible. Consider organizing your content so that
URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible,
readable words rather than long ID numbers)”
- Excerpt from Google WebMaster Tools.

Architecture

An approach to the design and planning of websites which
involves technical, aesthetic and functional criteria.

how quickly Google can look through it for relevant
content when a user inputs a specific query.

What is a Subdomain?
Subdomains are the third level domains used to organise your web content:

• http://www.yoursite.com is the regular URL without a subdomain
• http://products.yoursite.com is an URL with sub domain “products”

Here the:
.com is the first level domain
yoursite is the second level domain
products is the third level domain

Domain authority is never transferred to sub
domains, but it is from sub domains.
