Chris. F. Masse from the World-Wide World asks: "On your WordPress.org blog (mattcutts.com), why did you switch from domainname.com/year/month/day/sample-post/ to domainname.com/postname/ ? Has this to do with how PageRank flows within a site?"

  • Good question and a great answer. I like how he answers the question. Brief but clear.

  • this is such a great info. thank you so much for sharing this.greatly appreciated!

  • what is the il in the youtube address? and en dot whatever. what do these things mean?

  • Thanks for the tips, enjoy the information.

  • Matt, usually this handicaps you from using the exact same page title and url slug in any time period. I usually prefer Year/Month to uniquify a URL (Kinda' like SKU number for products). So, whenever I use same page title in another month, I don't fall in trouble.

  • Does this mean that the folder structure has no influence on how Google index a page? I heard that you should not have more than four level from root. If you do, Google will not index the page. Have I misunderstood?

    Thank you. Lot's of great tips here. Keep it up.

  • I don't know if this is possible but it would be so much appreciated if these contents could be transcript in order to make them accessible to a wider public, ex. those of us residing in Africa on and off or on a more permanent basis. sites with much less viewers such as mixergy and havocinspired than this have such feature so please do consider this. should be one of googles goal, i.e. to reach as many as possible

  • great question and great clarification (answer) keep up the good work GGuys!

  • Question from Johan (Sweden): Why do you not use Blogger as your tool?

  • @asittingducktv - The video needs backlinks. Backlinks are one of the biggest factors that decide how to video will rank. Take a look at the other videos on this channel and you will get lots of information about it.
