PinoyCosplay.com has a lot of ?'s in its URLs, and it's a PR5 with PR3 front page links.

Easy man no need to get all emotional about it 😉 it’s just a “?” 🙂

just for the record, this is not about you nor me; this is about how myayala.com NOT KNOWING the importance of not having a “?” in their URLs.. they are already in the field, they are dancing in google’s music, why not dance all the way..? and dont lecture me marc about the truth about “?” and the “and” operator thing, im not gonna take lessons from someone runnin around with a blog claiming that he is an internet marketing specialist who by the way doesnt even know the difference and importance of having a “?” in the URL in the first place..

sorry , occupational humor..

W, was just trying to open your eyes to the truth about “?” that’s all 😉 and congrats on having the world at your fingertips 🙂

well yeah, you do sound like a broken record, you keep fixating on the issue of “?” while im trying to paint a bigger picture for you to see..

i think you would agree with me if i say that internet is more of an american game since they dominate cyberspace right..? now how will you beat them in their own game if you will not play the way they play their game.. unlike most people i will not just sit around with my dynamic page and pray to anything that is holy and sacred and hope that google would index some of my pages.. not if i can do anything about it..

as for my URLs, you dont have to worry about it.. who needs an SEO if you have the world at your fingertips..?

W, with the level of personalization and number of product categories/types, it’s only right for Amazon to invest in that. If it didn’t, it would be one monster URL, and it’s just SEO common sense to have it rewritten.

The opposite example would be your typical mom-and-pop site with 30 or less products in a CMS-enabled catalog. If done correctly, you don’t need to rewrite URLs. You can (I would recommend it) but it’s not a requirement to getting crawled/indexed/ranked. You’re saying it is.

The fact remains, G can crawl sites with a “?” in the URL. It even ranks sites with a “?” in the URL. I’ve done it and I’ve seen others do it. I’ve shown you examples to prove those two points, but that’s something you’re still rejecting outright. Huuuwaaaay!?! 🙂

Sorry if I’m starting to sound like a broken record. I usually don’t bother trying to convince people online. But I must admit, I miss these types of threads. It helps to have healthy, albeit lengthy dialogues once in a while. If the other party should convert, great. If not, well it is a democratic Web.

If you want, maybe you can share the URL of your dynamic site, the one with spiderability issues. There might be SEOs willing to help you identify/fix the problem.

Amazon has been around long, long before Google, and they have had those URLs since the beginning as far as I can remember. Spiders like Altavista, Lycos and Excite weren’t as smart as today’s state of the art.

when you asked me that question, i gave you this answer:

“ill make this short and sweet:

i ddnt misread, i post it there myself ddnt i..? obviosuly i know..” (THIS IS THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. IF YOU CANT READ BETWEEN THE LINES, THEN I CANT HELP YOU ANYMORE)

youre the one who ddnt answer me question me amigo.. HOWEVER, i would like to think myself as a gentleman so i will not retaliate by asking you the same question again..

with all of this conversation we are having, you know you are suggesting right..? you are suggesting that amazon obviously wasted their time, money and effort re writing their URLs because google can index pages with a “?”.. i find it rather interesting..

why not blog about it, how stupid amazon.com should have not re write their URLs for search engine sakes because obviously its useless and instead should have opt to sticking to pages with “?”, then probably ill digg it..

just in case, i know you ddnt say, i said you are suggesting..

W, you’re still free to answer the previous question. It is a free world. So what will it be? Can G index pages with “?” or not?

BTW, when searching in G, you can drop the “and” operator 😉
