Is that important?
- smackfu 15y agoGoogle thinks so, they use human readable permalinks on their official blogs: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-do-you-love.html http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-do-you-love.html
- jrockway 15y agoIsn't that just a side effect of using Blogger? I know why people demanded that feature for Blogger (imaginary effects on PageRank), but I imagine Google has a better algorithm than looking at text in the URL for content that they host. For example, they can find the post's title right in the database.
- dennisgorelik 15y agoYes, human-readable URLs are important. They are important as additional clue to users. They are important for SEO. But most likely it would take Google+ years before they implement it (like it was with Blogger).
- ugh 15y agoDoes Google really care about SEO? I very much doubt that users care about urls. (Yeah, you care, I care, sure, but nobody else.)
- dennisgorelik 15y agoIf you and I care about readable URLs why other users would not care? Everyone benefits from being able to read link that they see.
