I have installed another module called Pathauto which should set me on the right path (haha) to a more SEO friendly site. I’ve noticed that it is also recommended that I download the Path Redirect module in addition to Pathauto, so I will certainly be considering that (still need to figure out what it is and why I need it, heh). It would appear that it just creates an update link in the event an update to your URLs is needed.
I’ve also watched a screencast on using Pathauto and Views to create indexed aliases, or in other words hackable URLs. The video seems pretty straight forward, but I won’t know for certain until I jump in. Since indexed aliases increase usability, I would imagine that it would help search engines. Whether or not it does, the better accessibility that should come of hackable URLs seems worth while.
