How do I generate SEO Friendly URL's for filter combinations in Rails?
I have a site where the user can apply a combination of multiple filters.
To improve the SEO on the site I would like to have the URL in a human-readable format when filters are applied.
I would like the URL to be:
example.com/stadiums-in-england-or-spain-with-grass-and-capacity-of-more-than-20000
Instead of:
example.com/country=england,spain&surface=grass&with_capacity_of_more_than=20000
This is something that I've seen on NomadList where for example, if the user applies the filter 'walkable' and 'Europe the generated URL will be
https://nomadlist.com/walkable-places-in-europe
Anyone here has any idea on how to build this?
Hey Tommy!
You would probably need to do this with wildcard URLs and then parse them.
# At the very bottom of your routes file so it doesn't override other GET routes
get "*place" => "places#show"
This should assign params: { place: "walkable-places-in-europe"}
And you could parse that string with Regex or similar to get your filter and location out of it in the controller.
I'm working with a client that is looking to build a page to feature products with filters/facets.
Is this really possible to buy traffic from another source? How long the traffic will stay on the site? I mean after a few months it will automatically decrease or increase? Does Google give values for this type of paid traffics?
