dynamic urls and google

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html

hi, ive just read that article and got confused, as a modx user, can anyone shed any light on what this might mean to me using rewrite?

cheers

Basically, Google doesn’t care that rewrite is being used, ergo what you produce in modx should be just fine.

Interesting read, if rather confusing. Seems google is confused

The guidelines for Google used to say specifically that a parameter ’id’ was NOT OK, so the standard MODx way of handling the pages index.php?id=10 was a potential issue.

This is why many, including me, used FURL’s to alter it to index.php?q=10 or similar.

Turns out this restriction has gone, and I can specifically see sites well indexed using id= so really you don’t need to use FURL’s any more just to sidestep that issue.

so really you don’t need to use FURL’s any more just to sidestep that issue.

But they are so cool!

You don’t need them anymore for SEO reasons, but you should use it for your visitors so that they can remember the url
