I asked the question about using 302s for vanity URLs. Does anyone have this session recorded on film? I’d love to pass the panel’s response on to management here in house. Particulary the part where they all shook their heads in sync about 302s not passing link juice then nodding together when I asked if a 301 would be more appropriate.
Great talk and a great convention!

I’m glad they covered that; canonical URL and duplicate content URLs is a big SEO issue with many sites.

LOL @ 301 vs 302. :))

I’m curious about rewriting URLs (e.g. turning dynamic urls to pretty permalinks) to make them keyword-rich. We’re just about to try that on one of our e-commerce sites, but I’m worried about Google’s preference: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html

What do you think?

Haha classic, just like PenIsland.net, WhoRepesents.com and PowerGenItalia.com :) ExpertsExchange has since changed their name to experts-exchange.com.
