How to create SEO friendly URLs for your blogs in Drupal?
Why?
On a standard way, Drupal uses the title of the blogs in order to create the URL of the blog.
-> It means it also takes words as how, what and verbs into the URL which are not always relevant for the SEO.
-> The URL takes a limited amount a characters into account for the URL.
-> Not all relevant keywords for Google are in the URL.
=>You have the possibility to select which keywords have to be used to create the URL.
How?
- Under Slug, please add the most relevant keywords for your blog with a "-" between them.
