Why to add a product id in the url
-
Hello !
shop.com/en/2628-buy-key-origin-the-sims-4-seasons/
Why will people use a product id in the link? Is there any advantage like better ranking or else?

Hi kh-priyam
Many people use a product ID in the link because many CMS automatically create this ID in the url, and if you don't install a plugin for friendly urls, this ID will be there.
There is no advantage for ranking better with product or categories ID. In my opinion it doesn't matter if you have an ID if the rest of the url is friendly, but some people think that urls without ID are better, so I recommend you to don't have a product ID in your urls.
