Avoid SEO Enemy URLs
You would have probably heard about SEO friendly URLs, but would have never gone through SEO enemy URLs. Some of you might be thinking the URLs which are not SEO friendly are considered at SEO-Enemy URLs! No, this is not at all true. Consider following URLs…
a) http://www.example-url.com/articles/2009/01/14/ (Excellent)
b) http://www.example-url.com/articles.php?year=2009&month=01&day=14 (Not bad, will work)
c) javascript:__doPostBack(‘ctl00$exampledomain$action001’,”); (Dirty, Never Recommended)
In above case: example (a) is most strongly recommended way of writing URLs, while example (b) is also not bad, most or I should say almost all crawlers excepts these URLs – that is a traditional way of writing dynamic URLs. While example (c) is a javascript URL & is Never-Ever recommended. Todays web crawlers never read such urls.
Example (c) type of javascript URLs are mostly generated when we work with Asp.Net’s built-in event functions such as Edit Item in Grid or DataList, Pagging, Deleting etc. Though Microsoft and other giants have made programming easy and have hide so many complexities from developers but on other hand their impact to site’s SEO is not negligible.
Such javascript URLs could hide your most important imformation from being searched on internet, therefore you must chose alternates to built-in automated pagging, editing and deleting functions of Asp.Net
