Is really URL with variables no SEO friendly ?

Asked by Joaquin F., in Marketing
How much affects if you wrote just one index PHP or CGI and use variables in the URL compared if you use directories ? Of course if the keyword is same in the /?v=keyword and the /keyword ? My experience have been compare results in Google SERP for some keywords I did in both forms and got better result for variable instead directory or html file name.

SEO friendly website is a perfect alternative to get more traffic. These sites are fully accessible. Moreover, it focuses on fulfilling the user preferences. But many of the web designers fail to understand the importance of SEO friendly websites. The possible reason for the same is the unawareness of fruitful practice. Many do not know how to make your website SEO friendly. These probable reasons serve as a restriction that enforces web developers to ignore search engines.

Friendly URLs are intended to be more readable for google, so a url like this: pagina.com/whats-is-seo is better than one like mypage.com/article/php?index-1/focus/archive/ whats-is-seo-

I can't understand your question, but you mean if it affects to have a page with URL like this: pagina.com/var?=keywords?

It really depends a lot on how you have structured your website, but for example many shopping cart pages work that way.

While they do give weight to the authority of the overall domain itself, keyword use in a URL can also act as a ranking factor. While using a URL that includes keywords can improve your site's search visibility, URLs themselves generally do not have a major impact on a page's ability to rank.

While parameters are loved by developers and analytics aficionados, they are often an SEO nightmare. Endless combinations of parameters can create thousands of URL variations out of the same content.

The problem is we can’t simply wish parameters away. They play an important role in a website’s user experience. So we need to understand how to handle them in an SEO-friendly way.

URLs are a minor ranking factor search engines use when determining a particular page or resource's relevance to a search query. While they do give weight to the authority of the overall domain itself, keyword use in a URL can also act as a ranking factor.

URLs with variables, also known as dynamic URLs, can be less SEO-friendly than static URLs. Dynamic URLs typically include parameters or variables that are generated by a server-side script to display specific content or data.

Search engines prefer static URLs because they are typically easier to understand and index. When a search engine sees a static URL, it can easily identify the page's content and purpose based on the URL structure. Dynamic URLs, on the other hand, can be more difficult for search engines to understand and index because the parameters can change frequently and do not provide meaningful information about the page's content.

That being said, there are ways to make dynamic URLs more SEO-friendly. One way is to use URL rewriting to convert dynamic URLs into static URLs. This can be done through server-side scripting and can involve replacing variable parameters with descriptive keywords. Another way is to use canonical tags to indicate the preferred URL for a page, regardless of whether it is a dynamic or static URL.

Overall, while dynamic URLs may be less SEO-friendly than static URLs, there are techniques available to make them more search engine friendly.

Yes! URLs with variables, often referred to as dynamic URLs, can present challenges for search engine optimization (SEO) compared to static URLs. However, advancements in technology and search engine algorithms have made it possible to optimize dynamic URLs for better SEO performance.

Keeping URLs as simple, relevant, compelling, and accurate as possible is key to getting both your users and search engines to understand them (a prerequisite to ranking well). Although URLs can include ID numbers and codes, the best practice is to use words that people can comprehend.
