Description
By default, our navigation elements reflect the hierarchy of a site. For SEO reasons it would be good if the hierarchies are as flat as possible, at best having only top level pages. For understanding the logical structure of a site, hierarchies are however very desirable.
What I imagine is that the navigation elements actually render as they do now but point to top-level "aliases". In fact, no deep links should ever be rendered anywhere (to avoid duplicate content violation).
So while my page hierarchy is as follows:
home
home/about
home/about/history
The menu would look:
home
- about
- - history
But e.g. history would always link to www.a.com/history.html not www.a.com/home/about/history.html
One problem that I see is that we would need to ensure that in such a case all page names are unique. (Observation?)
As a related issue, I think the "folder" concept discussed for STK goes in a similar direction; possible with better control over which hierarchies are flat and which are not.
