Yesterday I thought that maybe pixelDepth should have search engine friendly URL’s, specially for the tutorials so it would be…
http://pixeldepth.net/tutorials/1/36546543/Introduction_To_PHP/
Instead of…
http://pixeldepth.net/index.php?action=tutorials&category=1&id=36546543
I thought I may as well do the whole site, which is what have been doing, but it’s taking so long to do, so many links and other things to change, I wish there was an easier way.
I hope to have it done for this weekend, will need a few people to test it for any invalid URL’s. Hopefully the keywords in the URL’s will bring in a bit more traffic and get higher up in the searh engines.
What are your thoughts on SEO?

What Am I Doing?
- Installed W@W 1.02 patch, should now be able to play with American friends, let the desync commence
- Just finished playing World at War, can now connect to people. Spawning is really bad, a very high chance of being shot in the back.
- Still can't connect to anyone on World at War multiplayer, but people can connect to me, very annoying.
- Finished Call of Duty World at War single player, felt shorter than Modern Warfare. Now I can play Zombie mode.
- Played Call of Duty World at War, at the moment I'm not keen on it, WWII doesn't do it for me. I'll keep playing, might start to like it.
- Yay, I got news that Call of Duty World at War has been delivered from Game.
- Just finished playing Call of Duty 4, which could be the last time, as W@W should arrive tomorrow.
- At work
- Played some CoD4 before work, my team was really bad
- Downloading Ubuntu, Vista is horrible to develope on
- On my way home through the lovely rain on my bike
- Completed Far Cry 2 at the weekend
- Installed Twinkle app on touch, awesome for a free app
- Setting up Twitter on my Ipod Touch

Honestly… I can see the use of it - with most people using search engines to find a page on the net rather than navigating directly to it. It is in a way the “new” advertising, or rather, cheap advertising to get your website noticed - eToy did it back years ago and obviously it’s just more acceptable these days.
That said…. it does depend on your site content. If you’re just, say, a forum javascript site, then advertising just at forums who need it will usually bring in 90% of your target audience, and they’ll push up your ranking. See: “invisionfree proboards javascripts” or “invisionfree proboards javascript codes” (no quotes needed in the search) for what I mean.
I’m thinking about doing it for my site, I’ve left it flexible so I can do it if I can be bothered
I’d probably do it for my site if my host supported .htaccess. It’d just be something fun to learn. =P
