Straightforward practical tips, that’s how we like them! Don’t forget to read the mod_rewrite cheat sheet if you need to redirect URLs.
Yeah, after a few humoristic adn slightly off topic posts I had the urge to write something concise and useful.
Onreact, could you repair the CSS design flaw (the body text is placed below the archives) that makes your blog look horrible in Firefox and Opera, please?
Wow. Which Firefox and Opera? I tested with both. Can you send me a screenshot? onreact at onreact.com
Some of these are quite obvious to current webmasters but should start a discussion about proper SEO URLs based on the type of content a publisher puts out. A news-heavy site shouldn’t ditch date-based URLs just because this article says so. Dates in the URL could be incorporated sparingly and strategically in a news category but nowhere else, e.g. press releases. Some CMS engines like Joomla still have mechanical ID numbers in the URLs even when the SEF routines are enabled. Though somewhat ugly, it actually keeps the site from returning a 404 error even if the alias to the article changes with the title.
codejutsu: I advise you to read the article cosely before pointing things out which are already incorporated in it. Ut says "If you’re not into breaking news stop using the date as your most important first part of the URL."Also the number/alias issue has been mentioned in the WordPress part.
Thanks for this post..I will surely keep in mind not to do such mistakes on my site’s URL.
pageoneresults: generally I don’t click news from "2005" :-)As to the number vs headline slug issue: I wrote it in the post, use both ideally: 123/angelina-jolie-nakedthis was you can change the headline without losing visitors. Of course you have to redirect them to to the same URL.
