URL Help

Will the following urls will be considered as two different urls?
1. www.example.com/key=value1& key2=value2
2. www.example.com/key2=value2 & key=value1
-
Those URLs will be seen as different, but the real question is will the content on those URLs be viewed as different, or do you need a canonical tag.
-
Yes, this would be different URLs. As Rishi mentioned if it returns a 200 status it is a different URL.
It may be worth looking at those values and adding canonical tags or making sure your URLs are always filling in properly. i.e. value1 is always before value2.
-
www.example.com/key2=value2&key=value1
www.example.com/key=value1& key2=value2As long as the URLs can be reached with a status 200 on either permutation, then it would be seen as a distinct URL.
From an SEO standpoint, depends on the semantic set up and content variation.

Looking for list Pro's & Con's of removing Folder from URL?
Hi We have a sub-folder ("/shop-by-department/") which is pretty much useless on our site and I'm looking to remove it. But the team want a list of the Pro's & Con's in doing so. So for example I'll be changing www.example.ie/shop-by-department/furniture/beds/product-a to www.example.ie/furniture/beds/product-a I know there will be an intial hit as Google adjusts to the change but think it's definitely the way to go. I was lookng for a complete list of the Pro's & Con's to send onto the team. It'll be going to the traditional marketing (print, radio, etc.) too so can ve top-level points too. Hope you can help! Thanks

Website Redesign - What to do with old 301 URLs?
My current site is on wordpress. We are currently designing a new wordpress site, with the same URLs. Our current approach is to go into the server, delete the current website files and ad the new website files. My current site has old urls which are 301 redirected to current urls. Here is my question. In the current redesign process, do i need to create pages for old the 301 redirected urls so that we do not lose them in the launch of the new site? or is the 301 command currently existing outside of our server so this does not matter? Thank you in advance.

Help with Country selector pop up
Hi, We have just taken off our auto redirect on our sites so we now have separate domains - .co.uk, .de, .com, .fr, .eu, .com.au We are about to install a country selector that pops up. Its bit more of pros and cons answer I am after So the 2 options we considering are as follows The more complicated one with the following functionality across all sites in the case the example is having a French IP So I have a French IP – I arrive on French site = no pop up I arrive on UK site = pop up with text saying “you are on the UK site” and generates 2 button one saying“continue” and the other saying “take me to Tidy-books.fr” I arrive on the USA site = pop up with text saying you are on the US site and generates 2 button one saying “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr” I arrive on the German site = pop up with text saying you are on the DE site and generates 2 button one saying “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr” I arrive on the Australian site = pop up with text saying you are on the DE site and generates 2 button one saying “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr” I arrive on the European site = pop up with text saying you are on the EU site and generates 2 button one saying “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr” The other simpler option I have French Ip 1. I visit the French site no pop up 2. I visit any other countries site and a pop up with a all our flags appear allowing the person to select which country they wish to go to Hope that makes sense any suggestions etc would very much appreciated Thanks

Question Mark In URL??
So I am looking at a site for a client, and I think I already have my answer, but wanted to check with you guys. First off the site is in FLASH and HTML. I told the client to dump the flash site, but she isn't willing right now. So the URLS are generated like this. Flash: http://www.mysite.com/#/page/7ca2/wedding-pricing/ HTML: http://www.mysite.com/?/page/7ca2/wedding-pricing/ checking the site in Google with a site:mysite, none of the interior pages are indexed at all. So that is telling me that Google is pretty much ignoring everything past the # or ?. Is that correct? My recommendation is to dump the flash site and redo the URLS in a SEo friendly format.

WordPress blog hosted on GoDaddy domain mapping help
We set up a WP blog that's hosted through GoDaddy. For various reasons, we purchased a URL to use to get through the technical build and set up and are trying to map that to a subdomain of our company website. (We can't host it on our own server, unfortunately). My question is: for WP blogs hosted via WP you can buy a domain mapping upgrade and I'm trying to find a similar plugin that could offer the same thing that would apply to our GoDaddy hosting and point to our subdomain (GD apparently doesn't offer the domain mapping). Anyone have any thoughts, please?
