 "node/138", it's important to know that modern search engines give
 heavy weight to search terms which appear in a page's URL. By
 automatically using keywords based directly on the page content in the URL,

    a module or your template contains hardcoded links, such as
    'href="node/$node->nid"', those won't get replaced with their corresponding
    aliases.
