Google Cares About Keywords in URLs

by Chris Abraham on July 25, 2007 · 0 comments

I tell my clients to consider keywords and “reader-friendly URLs” when they set up their blogs and choose their Content Management Systems. There are too many “q=243,” “s=298,” and “node/218″ (or in the embarrassing case of Gadgetopia, http://gadgetopia.com/post/5993) urls in the modern blogosphere. Well, you may have called my SEO work “snakeoil,” but I am now vindicatedby Google!

Underscores are now word separators, proclaims Google: This is interesting for a couple reasons. First, because it’s just good to know. Second, because it confirms the value of keywords in the URL, as I’ve questioned in the past. Via CNet and Gadgetopia
