SEO AdviceMinimize URL querystring parameters, don’t use ID=
A couple quick tips on URLs. According to Matt Cutts blog, you should minimize the number of url querystring parameters to 1 or 2. What is a URL querystring parameter. Well, these are the parameters after the pagename and ? in a URL such as (in bold):
http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.php?cid=234&fid=24334
As well, do not use ID=something as a parameter. I plan on talking about URL rewriting in the near future which is the ideal way to hide all parameters and make your site more search engine friendly.
