Hello. Before updating to ES 3.1 my site links looked like:
video: https://crimson-land.ru/videos/26087-dvoe-detej-zadokhnulis-v-kholodilnike
- it shorty and clear
All this link allready indexed by Google, Yandex.com (russian search system) etc and promoted at other sites.
But now it's more longer
https://crimson-land.ru/videos/27616-wampirina/videos/26087-dvoe-detej-zadokhnulis-v-kholodilnike
People don't care about "27616-wampirina". Why to display it?
User's realname (that can be changed by user himself and link will be changed too). If I remove in backend ID and user will change his realname, links will be totally changed too
Also new link has ugly double "videos" Why to create menu item "videos" if it doesn't make link shortier?
Also old link doesn't redirect to new link. So now site has 2 the same(dublicate) pages. May be Google smart to recognize it and keep only one, but I'm not sure about others. It's not good for site that allready has promoted content with cool short links.
How to work with "SEF URLs" section in backend? It has tons of links. I need to edit it one by one to make looks shortier? It's insane. I expected it shoud allow to set some "SEF URL mask".
For exampleL change: videos/12857-zlyden/videos/25375-potroshit-svoyu-zhenu to videos/25375-potroshit-svoyu-zhenu and all links (for user's video) will lokks like that.
For example JomSocial used similar long links and my site's videos (with JomSocial) were "at the end of the list" (other sites with shorts links was more success). After migrating to ES with short links, it become more comfortable for users and (seems) for some search systems and the situation has changed to good.
Now... It ruined everything. Seems like I have to prepare for a drop in attendance and cash low monetizing.
VK.com, Facebook, Youtube, LiveLeak and tons of popular social networks and video services use more shorty URL.
For the user, loooong link looks like a big step back.
How can I move back to shorty URL? Please help
Thanks.
