I'm no SEO guru, but isn't the recommended behavior to create a URL that matches the title of the blog post? I've seen these "post title" URLs with increasing frequency over the past few years.
- lauradhamilton 12y agoYeah, but you're supposed to put underscores or hyphens to separate words. The bots aren't smart enough to un-concatenate words as far as I understand.
- unclebucknasty 12y agoYeah, at least at one time, and likely still the case. I never liked this SEO "feature", however. My thinking is why should search engines really care about the URL WRT content? Seems like a shortcoming of the engines, as well as a potential technique for gaming the search engines. In fact, it seems that if search engines could determine that URLs were being used to game them, then they wouldn't need sites to bother with this behavior in the first place. OTOH, if search engines cannot tell they are being gamed with URLs, then it's also completely useless. What am I missing?
