You're absolutely right that short url's aren't good for SEO -- when being used on your blog. However, this article series was about how to avoid using a short url service which uses a completely different domain as your own for posting links on social media sites that expect/require a short url. On those sites, using your own domain name is better than using someone elses - and if they require a short url, I think it's much better to use your own short url over one being provided by a company. Again, we're talking about the url used for posting on social media sites that require a short url - not the url format of your actual site. @s.a.d.

You’re absolutely right that short url’s aren’t good for SEO — when being used on your blog. However, this article series was about how to avoid using a short url service which uses a completely different domain as your own for posting links on social media sites that expect/require a short url.

On those sites, using your own domain name is better than using someone elses – and if they require a short url, I think it’s much better to use your own short url over one being provided by a company.

But I personally think that short url's are bad for seo optimization. Search engines like google don't like short url's and put them on lower positions then the long ones. If taking in example your blog it would be better http://blog.websitestyle.com/index.php/2009/04/21/make-your-own-short-urls-with-domains-or-software/ than for example http://blog.websitestyle.com/?p=458. When I am configuring my wordpress, I am always changing url's to the longer ones. But thanks for the article anyway! Thanks for the useful post.
