Given a Choice What Would You Do Here?

Ok I have this site that has categories..it is pretty well built out so I cant change that at this point. I have room to add one more category for reviews

Would you do something like this

www.mysite.com/generalwordtorankfor/nameofproductryingtorankfor

example (this is not the actual words)

www.mysite.com/acnetreatments/acnebegone (general word attracts a lot of searches on its own)

OR since people like to read reviews would you put the word product reviews in the URL so it is clear it is a review and may possibly attract more readers?

http://www.mysite.com/productreviews/acnebegone

    Given those two alternatives, I would go for the first one, personally. Then I would make sure the word 'review' showed up in the description, meta keywords, tags (if it's a blog).

    That way, you would get the benefits of having the general keyword and product name in the url, and the word review bolded in the description if it appears in the search term.

      I would also go for the first one. Thought you could use more opinions, hopefully others respond with their opinions!

    I was once at a talk with Stephanie Mullac and she suggested

    Domain + catagory + post title = SEO magic

    Keep your domain broad and have about 5 -7 catagories on your blog and have these more targeted. Your title post should be your long tail keyword. This is the way my blog is layed out.
