Flat Links
12th February, 2009
All the way back in my first article, Where to Start, I talked about how registering a domain name containing your website’s keywords is important. Well having the keywords in the complete URL to the page is also helpful.
The URL of the page you’re on now for example: http://www.cashsblog.com/2009/01/flat-links/. It contains to year, month, then title of the article. This can give search engines a better idea of what the page is about. Have you ever seen URLs like http://www.cashsblog.com?read_article.php?year=2009&month=01&key=120&title=flat-links and thought “What the hell does that mean?”
