Question about url structure for large real estate website
I've been running a large real estate rental website for the past few years and on May 8, 2013 my Google traffic dropped by about 50%. I'm concerned that my current url structure might be causing thin content pages for certain rental type + location searches. My current directory structure is: domain.com/home-rentals/california/ domain.com/home-rentals/california/beverly-hills/ domain.com/home-rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/ domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/ domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/beverly-hills/ domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/ etc.. I was thinking of changing it to the following: domain.com/rentals/california/ domain.com/rentals/california/beverly-hills/ domain.com/rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/ ** Note: I'd provide users the ability to filter their results by rental type - by default all types would be displayed. Another question - my listing pages are currently displayed as: domain.com/123456 And I've been thinking of changing it to: domain.com/123456-123-Street-City-State-Zip Should I proceed with both changes - one or the one - neither - or something else I'm not thinking of? Thank you in advance!!
