      Hello,

      We have dynamic urls that we have made into short urls through htaccess and code manipulation. Some of our adwords urls are different from our page urls - for example

      a) Latest version of page www.abc.com/x-y-z.html

      b) Previous version of url www.abc.com/x+y+z.html

      c) raw original version www.abc.com/yyy/zzz?category=X&Product-code=Y etc etc.

      Would my ranking for keywords on the page improve if I diligently made all of them the same?

      They all go to the same page even now, and no 404 errors or anything.

      Thanks

      Sam

        I don't think it is important at all, people have been doing this for years so they can track adwords and other campaigns.
