SEO and Friendly URLs

Remember the days where the links were structured like so:

http://www.somedomain.com?pageID=12

This made it difficult for Google and other Search engines to properly find and title their search results.

So you saw URLSs turning into this:
http://www.somedomain.com/article/this-is-much-better

NOW, when the SEO algorithms and magic gears and a little bit of pixie dusts runs, then the pages are much easier to find and store for future searches.

This is simply applying a friendly URL instead of the ugly "pageID=12".

Sitecore and WordPress offers that as a part of the package when it comes to Friendly URLs.  Every time a new piece of content is created, it turns the title of the content into a the URL (replacing the URL with dashes).  All the more reason to gravitate to one of these WCM systems.

Try it, you will see your SEO results shoot through the roof!

Enjoy!
