SEO Bootcamp, Simple URL Rewriting
By Justin on Jul 16, 2008 in Site Development, featured | comments(0)
Of all the search engine optimization techniques out there none is more fundamental than rewriting URLs to be more human and search engine spider friendly. URL rewriting is useful for removing ambiguous querystring parameters that have no meaning to your visitors but are required to drive the content presentation of your data driven website. For example if I were searching for Kung Fu movies and saw the following URLs, http://www.dvdstore.com/categoryid=7 and http://www.dvdstore.com/kungfu-movies.html I would be more likely to follow the second link as I know exactly where I am going, not so with the first ambiguous, albeit functionally identical, URL.
