SEO friendly product URLS
Posted by David Hall on 13 January 2009 12:54 PM
The system allows you to enter a fully customized URL to a product details page. There are a number of reasons why this is useful. It can benefit search engine ranking as search engines may look at the filename / URL when evaluating a site, shorter cleaner filenames / URLs containing keywords are preferable. It can also help when giving out site URLs over the phone, via email or in marketing literature to keep URLs clean and simple.

For example for the reasons above

http://www.yourcompany.com/product-widget

is preferable to

http://www.yourcompany.com/product-widget-2-xyz.aspx
