Andy17 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I know the discussion about SEO friend URLs has been brought up multiple times, but I have a more precise question; I read the following phrase: Do not use too general parameters like ID; it will be ignored by Google as it thinks it's a session ID. I am using id as a parameter on my website; do you guys think I should change it into something else, or is this just something someone made up? Thank you.

dropfaith Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i normally try to avoid using ids for this reason i use Name and have actual text up there seems to help out a bit for me plus for people who try to remember links a name is better then a random number to remember if the content matches the name Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127594-solved-question-regarding-url-parameter/#findComment-660178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksystem Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 actually what you only need to learn is mod_rewrite. You can rewrite urls that has an id to identify pages/products/articles etc etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127594-solved-question-regarding-url-parameter/#findComment-672674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
