my site is on a rather borad topic (i know, i know....specialize...but, although the site is broad, its very comprehensive and detailed.)

Can someone comment on the practce of organizing folders around keyword broadness?

for example - say the site is about darts.

the most base keyword is "darts" then you might have "darts lessons" or darts tips" or whatever - more specific keywords. As you get more specific, the wordtracker expected clicks per day gets lower and lower.

SO - could you /would you recommend seeting up teh files lie this:


so...the first folder is named after the main keyword, and if you hit:


you would get a menu page with all of the links to the sub cat's and sub pages with the more specific keywords.

does this make any sense?????? please slap me if this is rediculous.
 
does it make sense to you from a site maintenance and navigation point of view?
Would it make sense to a visitor to the site?
would it make sense to someone at the other end of a telephone conversation?
These are the criteria to base your site structure on, not some arbitrary idea about search engines "liking" it.

Forget totally about keywords in the url, they are only of value if someone links to your site using the URL as the anchor text, other than that they mean little for SEO.
