[Solved] Are URL with ID numer better for SEO?


Recommended Posts

Hi, well I`m quite sure the title resume very well my doubt. I got activated the option of friendly urls, but I would like to take the id numer from th url.

example: www.domain.com/1-categorie for www.domain.com/categorie

the same for products. Do this change something on SEO? How can Ido to change the url without the ID, if it doesn`t affect SEO?


Thank you!

MC.

It's actually better to keep the IDs there, because it's the only way to keep track of changes.

For example, if you change the name of "categorie" to "new-categorie", search engines will no that the old category was changed and should now point to the new URL.

If it was "1-categorie" and now it's "1-new-category" it is possible to let search engines know that the old one should point to the new one.

I have a module that does this automatic redirection (as well as many others), but it will not work if the ID is missing.
