Re: SEO's Are They Worth The Hype?
-----------------------------------
[quote user="charlesdevon" post="57769"]Especially if someone does a specific search. If your blog was about any certain theme.[/quote]

If this is confusing - So am I.  :mryellow: 

Thanks, but blogs aside, there appears to many points of view about what a short url is supposed to end up looking like.

One concept is to just take out as much as possible from the string with preg for bots, and reprocess it when a query comes in from a browser.

The other is that the url string should process .php to end it with .html - by modifying .htaccess with RewriteRule's etc.

For example I'm sure I read that phpBB3 doesn't need to modify their url's with SEO because they end in .html ?

Then one reads that "Well constructed meta-data" is one of the best ways to attract more visitors through search engines. And I tend to agree, because there were some really good examples and arguments for doing it in a particular way.

Most sites use static metadata that has limitations on length etc. but if one was to use dynamic metadata (either manually entered or pulled via SQL) as well, then the metadata in the index.* would be different for every page.

So in reality, one could then end up throwing a whole Dictionary-Plus of descriptions and keywords at the search engines - all leading back to one's site etc.

Don't know - Think I'll leave it alone for now. ;)
