- ams6110 17y agoHow many people actually care about URLs? At work I help with a drupal site and by default the URLs are going to be something like node/123 or even index.php?n=123 but some people freak about that and insist on "friendly" URLs. I ask "who types in URLs anyway" (other than the site root itself, maybe). People either bookmark them or are linked to them. Is this another "techie" blinder of mine? Am I wrong to think that the "average user" cares at all about what the URL looks like?
- sthomps 17y agoNo, you are exactly correct. No average user cares about the URL, let alone types it in. I agree with your point about the nodes/123, or in my case, I see a lot of upset over index.aspx/something. Linking and bookmarking are usually the only ways people find it. The root is usually easy enough, but most people will still use search engines.
