hello. i work for a company that sells roughly 4,000 medical, surgical, and dental products online. we recently revamped our site and now have the capability to rename our URLs to reflect our products. (URLs currently end with something like pdetails.aspx?subcatid=252&pid=17949.) the problem is that many of our products share the same generic names (for example, forceps).
each product has a unique product ID number and someone recently suggested that we temporarily use the product ID to create unique URLs that end with something like /forceps-555553 with the number referring to the product ID. the idea being that at least our URLs will show that we sell forceps.
as we are able to work on better specifying our product names, we would rename our URLs again to something with something like /surgical-forceps and /dental-forceps.
so my question is…. does renaming a URL more than once have any disadvantages when it comes to SEO? if so, what are they? would doing what we are considering doing have any benefit?
sorry for being long-winded, but i want to be as detailed as possible. thanks.
