- ckluis 14y agoSo I moved my blog.mintek.com to mintek.com/blog after using HubSpot and switching to a custom wordpress install. I can't tell you that all the advantage was from the url restructuring, but it had a marked impact. Having tried similar things on test sites, I do think it makes a difference. And that is what SEO is about… testing assumptions because there is no definitive answer. Even Matt Cutts isn't going to tell you everything 100%.
- Estragon 14y agoMatt Cutts seems like a good guy, but there is an unavoidable conflict of interest when he gives advice like this. Google's job would be much easier if everyone believed the only way to rank is to have popular, useful content. Also, that article is five years old.
