Then I noticed that some newspapers(but not all) websites don't use descriptions in their url's but complex page numbering system. eg : http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,23403365-5005364,00.html or: http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/Asia/STIStory_229547.html Is there a case for keeping the old ugly method, on the basis, that it make no difference at all. Why are these newspapers opting to use this method? Infact the ugly url is shorter and simpler for wordpress. Any thoughts?
