Hi Guys, This is why you should stick to whats working.
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSG6C33GwsE, Matt cutts saying somewhere you should have a extension, so some extension is better than no extension 2. Even though Google might not care, you get traffic from other sources aswell, having a standard extension is better in getting crawled, indexed and ranked by other search engines 3. Do a search for "site:arstechnica.com" in google, you would find all pages for arstechnica site, there URLs are modded to use .ars, notice how the .ars pages actually start to appear in its index after 60th page onwards 4. When a user sees your page in search engine result as http://www.site.com/page.html vs http://www.site.com/page.modurl, they are more likely to click on a known URL format, unless you expect a lot of techie types who don't care. 5. When was the last time you searched for something and saw a modded URL ranking for your query? 6. Do you want to be Google Ginnie pig? Google says we index text in flash, do you start to put all your content in flash without considering how effective they are at doing so? 7. What is the advantage or URL modding? -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to nzphpug+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
