Top priorities for website improvement
- Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs. URLs using unusual characters (such as semi-colons or underscores), long numerals or complex phrasing are very difficult for real people to use or exchange. They also tend to be less favoured by search engines. Wherever possible ensure web addresses are 'human readable' - i.e. they should be easy to read, remember and type. In particular, avoid the use of obscure characters (including the underscore, which is not widely understood by non-technical users, or particularly memorable) and long numerals, e.g. example.com/23857984325.

- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version. (read more)
- To appear higher in search engine results, consider link building activity as a way to build your search ranking. Be careful though, because incoming links which are obviously artificial are likely to be detected by search engines and could have an adverse effect. (read more)
