[Plugin: WP125] How to avoid querystring URLs?? (3 posts)

    Hi,

    Does someone knows what needs to be changed in the wp125 code to avoid using querystring URLs?
    Using querystring URLs is very bad for SEO and it must be possible with this plugin to avoid them because the maker of this plugin uses it on his own web page, and on his web page the ads do not use querystring URLs, they use directly the URL of the advertiser.

    Can anyone help out please!

    Thanks

    No, it isn't really. It may have been in the mid-1990s, but modern search engines are more than capable of indexing them.

    Also, if you turn off click tracking on your ads, it will put the full URL to the advertiser's site instead of a querystring redirect. (Just edit the ad entry and uncheck the click counting box.)

    "it must be possible with this plugin to avoid them because the maker of this plugin uses it on his own web page, and on his web page the ads do not use querystring URLs, they use directly the URL of the advertiser."

    Actually, I'm not using the plugin on my site at this time. I'm using the BuySellAds.com ad network, because I don't have a lot of time to sell my own ads these days.
