Google updated its URL guidelines to improve crawling, stressing IETF STD 66 compliance and proper encoding. It advises against URL fragments for content changes and favors descriptive, human-readable URLs with audience language and UTF-8 encoding. Hyphens separate words, and URLs are case sensitive. Multi-regional sites should use country domains or subdirectories. Issues like filtering, session IDs, and dynamic calendars need robots.txt and crawl fixes.
