no really I just realised that some links doesn’t deserve SEO. For example on IPB’s user control panel. The only one who can see it is a registered user, and a search engine bot isn’t registered at all but only recognised.

So there is no point SEOing control panels or pages locked up to only registered users of the board. The only thing that needs to be SEO would be pages that guests can view. Such as content, post, replies, etc…

Thats one thing about seo. But nice and well formatted urls shows that you care. FURL would be term. FURL means friendly urls but what is so friendly about it? is it because it makes every page static? well no…

FURL is urls that are friendly, friendly to read, friendly to understand, etc… For example if you bookmarked a page and by accident you didn’t enter the title of the bookmark you would be shown the url in the place of the title in the list. Now if your link was like http://demo.com/index.php?id=2930ik12309&fsk=239kks it wouldn’t give a clue to the user who bookmarked it and would probably get lost in time.

But if your urls were friendly and meaningful such as: http://demo.com/the_world_has_a_meaning.html then the reader would know what the page contains.

Example as I am lazy at bookmarking pages I sometimes point my cusor on the the address field on my browser and just click the down arrow hopeing that the page I was looking for comes up. I know that a lot of you use it, as I do quite often. And sometimes you have 100’s of those urls with those really long urls which are being passed through and you just hope that one of them comes up as the right content you were looking for.

If you had a friendly url, people like me wouldn’t get lost in finding a good content you supplied.
