s2 member and seo

I’ve been looking at SEO Profiler – seems useful. I’ve checked a specific page as they suggest for a Top 10 Optimizer check and it gives this result for page url meta data:

Your page URL http://mysite.com/subscribe/?_s2member_seeking%5btype%5d=post&_s2member_seeking%5bpost%5d=10390&_s2member_seeking%5b_uri%5d=lzewmzkwl2xhcm1hbmrpzxitymvybmllci1ncmfuzc1jcnutymxhbmmtzgutymxhbmnzlw%3d%3d&_s2member_req%5btype%5d=level&_s2member_req%5blevel%5d=1&_s2member_res%5btype%5d=post&s2member_seeking=post-10390&s2member_level_req=1 indicates a dynamic URL. Search engines might have problems crawling and ranking dynamic URLs. Official Google information about dynamic URLs: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html

This looks pretty ghastly and complete negates all of my efforts with pretty urls, Yoast SEO, translated slugs etc etc

What do you think?

This is the URL that is used when someone tries to access a protected page. If that’s the only URL issue it had, I would say you are probably pretty good.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Nigel,

As David mentioned, the Membership Options Page is handled dynamically by s2Member, for various reasons. You don’t need to worry about Google having issues with that page.
