Technical Definition
URL structure refers to how URLs are formatted and organized. SEO best practices: use readable words (not IDs), include relevant keywords, use hyphens as separators, keep URLs concise, reflect site hierarchy. Static URLs preferred over dynamic URLs with parameters. URL structure signals content topic and site organization. Changing URLs requires proper 301 redirects.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
URL structure is how your web addresses are organized. Good URLs are readable and describe what's on the page, like '/blog/seo-tips/' instead of '/page?id=12345'. Including relevant words helps a little with SEO, but keeping URLs clean and consistent matters more. Once you set URLs, don't change them without redirects.
