It is becoming common practice (and good SEO practice) to impliment URL chopping. Seeing as though there aren’t too many articles on the subject I thought I would post a brief overview.
Often users to your website will navigate my manually changing URLS, making it important that each folder has its own page. For example:
yoursite.com/blog/topic/latest-entry/
yoursite.com/blog/topic/
yoursite.com/blog/
yoursite.com/
URL Format
It is also good SEO practice to hide any page extensions and have each page (e.g .php). The main reason for this is because it makes the URL harder to remember, but also there is a slight security risk as it reveals the underlying technology making it marginally more vunerable to hackers.
However the main blog and CMS systems will do this automatically so if you’re using these solutions then you don’t need to worry too much about it.
