    Default A Question On Listing URL's

    Just a question for you.

    Currently the idx feeds on my site show urls such as this

    bruceswedal.com/idx/metrolist/735903/details.html

    Now wouldn't urls closer to this make more sense and be more search engine friendly?

    bruceswedal.com/idx/metrolist/992-michener-highlands-ranch/details.html

    I could be wrong, but it seems to me that people would be more likely to search for an address making this more likely to show up and this more search engine friendly url might facilitate deeper indexing.

    I am not sure if that would even be possible with how the idx feed works, but thought I would ask the question.

    Having the address in the title works. Your site show up number 6 for the address search.
    992 michener highlands ranch

    We like to keep the mls number in the url because it's a unique key to the listing. Having addresses in the url may work - but some addresses could be problematic or even duplicates 712892 722741
