RE: 👨💻 #Proposal-86: SEO Improvements
I wonder if option 2 and 3 make any difference at all in indexing, perhaps it should be omitted completely.
I'm thinking of communityies like world of xpilar or deutsch unplugged. The tags are another matter, I use deutsch as the first tag out of old habit. We should make users aware that they should choose the first tag based on the content. Will that work?
Maybe option 4 would be to leave it out, I just mean url with username and permlink only. The main thing is to get rid of hive-xxx, that seems to me to be the most important thing.
Very hard to say - we've discussed a lot in the past about using appropriate tags and I think that even steemcurator has mentioned it. Unfortunately, most people still just use generic spam tags.
I don't think there's any penalty for having the hive-xxxxxx, we're just not benefitting by having something more meaningful. So removing it would probably have the equivalent effect to doing nothing (although I don't know this for sure) - and it'd be a mission to unravel Condenser's Routing.
I think the only way that the existing might be penalising us is that the URL should generally reflect the content on the page. So a URL that contains "/football" when the body content has no mention of football, would treat the page as "Tag Spamming" (the "official" term for this eludes me). For options 2 and 3, the community name already appears in the page ... and if bad tags are chosen, then option 3 could potentially have a detimental effect.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. New thoughts tend to surface during these discussions.

Isn't it more logical to use the hashtags to specify the content for example:
#book #review #titlebook
Good luck with making clear what hashtags mean.
Next time it is cats again.
