I'm still trying to figure out whether or not this has that much affect on search engine rankings. If so, then which search engines care about this? If anyone figures this out before I do, then I'd love to hear thoughts on this SEO topic. __________________ Indianapolis, Indiana Search Engine Optimization & Website Development by Slingshot SEO Posted:  23 Sep 2007 08:36 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  142 Join Date: Sep 2007 I have been wondering what a search engine friendly url actually is.  It sounds like a url that includes a common search term, but it could address the actual length of thee url. I can't wait to find out! Posted:  29 Sep 2007 10:08 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  26 Join Date: Sep 2007 SEO friendly url means keyword based urls, like if you have a page such as www.yourdomain.com/p.php?t=123 it won't be considered as SEO friendly url And if it is like www.yourdomain.com/your-keyword.php then it will be called SEO friendly. However there is no different as for as the search engines are concerned for ranking point of view (most people have the same opinion) Posted:  23 Nov 2007 15:18 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  11 Join Date: Nov 2007 You mean we ought to have some real words instead of just a bunch of numbers & letters after our main domain name? That shouldnt be too difficult. Posted:  23 Nov 2007 18:23 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  142 Join Date: Sep 2007 Well, if you have a series of letters or numbers I bet the search engine just moves the the content of the page.  The extra step might make a difference with indexing. Posted:  09 Mar 2008 14:37 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  56 Join Date: Mar 2008 In general SEO friendly URL's tend to be based on letters and keywords rather than code or numbers as a SEO deals with that much better. Posted:  12 Mar 2008 21:41 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  61 Join Date: Feb 2008 Most definitely!  But make sure that your keywords are as unique as possible.  For examples you have a real estate site, find something unique to go with real estate as a keyword. __________________ Start-Up Phase, resources to help your new business grow! http://www.startupphase.com/forums/index.php Pages: 1
