Google friendly URL structure

posted in Google |

Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/jlhdes/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mytube/mytube.php on line 220

From Google’s own Webmaster Help Center:

A site’s URL structure should be as simple as possible. Consider organizing your content so that URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible, readable words rather than long ID numbers). For example, if you’re searching for information about aviation, a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation will help you decide whether to click that link. A URL like http://www.example.com/index.php?id_sezione=360&sid=3a5ebc944f41daa6f849f730f1, is much less appealing to users.

This can be found on Google’s UN-friendly URL:

I think Nelson captured it best when he said:

    Good spot!
    I remember the days when you could do a google search and email someone the URL of the results page and the URL made sense.
    Now they fill the URLs up with all sorts of rubbish like client=safari&rls=en-us&q=google&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8.
    Boo.
