A Friday whiteboard session here at mattiasgronborg.com together with my friend Cristian Herrera about URL vs Link Structure in E-Commerce. This is a very important topic when you set up an E-Commerce store from start. But first let me provide you with a short background why this topic. Right now I’m doing researches about everything regarding E-Commerce because I’m planning to start a store in the future. I had some questions to Cristian and he answered them very well so I decided to create a whiteboard session about this topic and share his skills with you too. Thanks Cristian!

@mattgron, i forgot to mention the bottomline of this 5 minutes talk.
it is simple.
The bottom line is, you can always change your link structure later (menu, featued products and such).
But the URL structure should remain intact as long as possible, therefor it's worth the time to make a extra effort to get that right from the beguinning.
