PRIV P31j Permalinks on FeedSite


Page no: P31j

Overview

 

 

Reasoning:

Ad 1) Reason: Google does not care if post or page, but in WP, posts have better functionality

Ad 2) Reason: Same format as snbchf, year is sufficient to show if the post is new or not.

Ad 3) Reason, why we use slugs without stop words by Yoast and Mark Cutts here.

Ad 4) Reason: We must concentrate on important things. No time for that now.

Ad 5) Reason: Google Go-live with wrong permalinks and changing them shortly later, makes no sense. Google credit points might quickly be lost again.

problem Description

The actual URL is Austrian.economicblogs.org/Long_Title

But it should be Austrian.economicblogs.org/%category%/%year%/!Post_Title_Without_Stop_Words!

 

Example1: Original is post
Origin URL:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-01/circling-drain

Our URL:

https://austrian.economicblogs.org/zerohedge/2015/dazzak-circling/
But we need https://austrian.economicblogs.org/zerohedge/2015/dazzak-circling/
Example2: Original is page
But original:
https://snbchf.com/snb/balance-sheet-owners-equity/
But we need: https://snbchf.com/snb/balance-sheet-owners-equity/

Stop Words:

Basic stop words (articles, prepositions): of, the, more, you, is, a, for, by, of, to, than,

Simple Verbs are stop words: lost,

Adjectives are stop words: big, low, high, best, better,  bigger, higher

 

problem1:

The URL is formed out of the title and does not remove stop words, even if the original URL does not contain stop words.

problem2:

The blog/category is missing in the URL.

problem3:

The year is missing in the URL.

 

1) We used the wrong Permalink structure in WordPress.

Solution for problem1 and problem2: Categories and Date

But we a custom structure based on categories:

 

Solution for problem3:

The urls into the RSS comes with different urls than the real one. The post name is formed based on the title.

We can’t parse the real url and add it. We also can’t change the url of all of the blogs, because some of time doesn’t have friendly urls.

But there is a problem.

Remove Stop Words:

We can add new filter when we add the post. In that filter we will remove from permalinks – all the stop words. It will be a little bit better than now.

 

Correction old wrong Permalinks

We need a procedure to update the old wrong permalinks, to work on the backlog. The following plugin is useful here.
