another question

Take from vbseo.com :

the link like

Announcements & Pre-Sales - Pre-Sales Questions at vBSEO.com - Page 8

Will not make thing the search engine that the url Announcements & Pre-Sales - Pre-Sales Questions at vBSEO.com - Page 8 is not a static html file ? (even if no follow is add, the search engine can just see the link with the query string without following it)

Also, just you opinion, what do you thing it's better :

Announcements & Pre-Sales - Pre-Sales Questions at vBSEO.com
or
Announcements & Pre-Sales - Pre-Sales Questions at vBSEO.com

??

The point is not so much to *trick* the search engines into thinking that absolutely no script processing occurs. And, in rare cases (such as the "sorting" example you provided), it certainly does become evident that these parameters are being passed to a script, as they would be useless to a HTML document alone.

The greatest benefits of using a static link structure are to:

• Create a 1-URL-per-resource (or "page") environment
• Create full link consistency and consensus
• To inject rich keywords into the URL format (Content Relevant URLs)

On the topic of keyword consistency and consensus, you should definitely check out:

Also: In my opinion, /f55/ is better than /f55 (no trailing slash).

Also, do note that vBSEO effectively keeps spiders from indexing such pages by adding rel="nofollow" on-the-fly to ANY URL instance with a query string appended, EVEN those posted by members, check out the html source for this link. This method has proven to be a lot more effective than manually adding the rel="nofollow" to individual templates.

Proof:
2660 dupe results for default vB vs. "None, Zero, Nada" polluted URLs in vBSEO... and that's for 'desc' sorting alone.
