Probably about the same.

We'll have more seo-friendly urls on the main page soon, also coming this month are optimizations in the database queries.

Also very soon you'll be able to take askbot for a test drive at askbot.com.

@Evgeny I think the URLs are not SEO friendly, for example a tag URL is like http://askbot.org/en/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:openid/page:1/ which should be http://askbot.org/en/questions/tags/openid. Is there any way to change 1st URL to 2nd in Askbot? I see that OSQA uses 2nd URL scheme. Can we use such pattern in Askbot, if yes then how?

somehow url must contain all the parameters of the page, the url that you have suggested does not have sort, selection, etc. Besides, the main page changes frequently, so there is no point to direct any specific traffic there I would think... IMO it would be best to put all long urls like that into robots.txt forbidden section and have indexing focus on the question detail pages.

For example - I don't remember ever getting to StackOverflow's main page from Google, I mostly land on specific question pages...
