jayapalchandran is an unknown quantity at this point
is it good to have more subfolder sections [hierarchy] in url for seo

I think having hierarchies in url will be user friendly but will it be good for SEO?


which of the following urls will be good for seo?


URL SET 1
-----------
sitename.com/module/category-name/ - which will display all the titles in that category
and
sitename.com/module/category-name/title-of-the-post/ - which will display a specific article in a specific category


in both cases the category-name is real dynamic category name like sports, health, news etc...


(or)


URL SET 2
-----------
sitename.com/module/category/ - will list all categories
sitename.com/module/title/title-of-the-post/ - no category name is mentioned - the /title/ subfolder section is static for all article links
or instead of the second url if we are going to follow the url set 2 i think this will be very crisp sitename.com/module/title-of-the-post/


so the question is all about how much it makes sense for seo if we have hierarchy in url?
if so then it will be user friendly


else


we have also seen wikipedia which have sitename.com/title-of-the-post


so please suggest?
