Thanks, this blog helped me in narrowing down some problems with the latest version, Why do they always leave out vital documentation when they upgrade? It may be trivial to them but not for us! I’m sure we’re not alone either.

Short URL services are great to use, they simplify the URL down into a shorter and more human-readable format. For SEO there are a number of factors to take into account such as having the link text be related to the text on the page it links to.

My advice would be to create a link using a short URL service but to not use the created URL as the text of the link, instead choosing some words related to the content it’s linking to.

I hope that makes sense. Feel free to follow up with more questions.

Yes indeed, there are times when a complex URL string is required. However in drupal the URL is just an alias to an actual querystring such as http://www.example.com?q=node/133. In this instance the query ‘q’ is asking for the ‘node’ with the ‘id’ of 133. Therefore the page can still grab all the variables it needs.

Using the POST method on a page does not matter in relation to querystrings, the posted variables will not appear in the URL, only GET variables do this.

nice article, web 2.0 compliance web design along with SEO friendly urls can really help with the online marketing campaign but still there are time when you want to use complex urls. For example, if my page is getting data from a post back than I never want the user to land on that page directly without posting the data, though this bug can be fixed by putting a simple line into code.
