I am struggling with long aliases and urls in resources and cobalt for a century :).

Instead of using so many slashes/ and identifiers, would it be nice to

1

have URL shortening as built in future into the article template? Some URL shortening can use suggested words that is SEO friendly (not only scrambled numbers and characters.

2

eliminate double identifications - such as using a user registered ID and User Name in the URL - leave only ID # - it is shorter and does not mess up SEO

Sergey, I hope you found a solution for cobalt to come up with less parts in the URLs. there are too many /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ in front of a meaningful part of the URL - and Google punishes for these slashes and length of the URL. It kills Cobalts, if there is no solutions.

then, you have a bunch of words in url like - type name

-Item - Article ID #

so it looks too long and ugly as this:

domainname.com/entry/item/42-alexmartin/1-my first article title here

Here is what I prefer:

domanename.com/42/1-my first article title here

or even : domanename.com/UserIdNumber/uniqueNumber- title of the article

where User Id number - is the joomla ID

where uniqueNumber – is unique to THAT USER his own article order coded with caractera and numbers such as

this user first article: a1

this user second article: b1

this user third article: c1

and so on

#3 - make new algorithm for identification:

Instead of using numbers of all articles in the URL,( which grows very quickly to a big long number) , assign a user his own article numbers following after UserID. This will remove need for category and type in the URL.

Or, even better solution:

use combination of alphabet and numbers like on YouTube and this makes unlimited combinations with short identificator for each article, so you no longer need use Type Name/ Section Name in the urls before actual useful part of the URL.

Disclaimer: I am not a coder, I am poweruser.

And I am not interested to use any , any third party's SEO on my site. I believe that Cobalt' team is powerful to make it happens.
