SEO Daily Brief No. 2
On "What are URL parameters? A guide on how to use them"
URL parameters are a solved problem that most SEOs still overthink.

The real work isn't understanding parameters; it's knowing when *not* to create them in the first place, because every new parameter is another crawl path, another canonical opportunity, another way to shoot yourself in the foot. If you're spending time reading a guide on parameter basics when you could be auditing which parameters are actually leaking value from your site, you're optimizing in the wrong direction.
