Just about every site that uses a blogging app (like WordPress), a forum (like bbpress/punbb) or a cms uses modrewrite to clean up the urls. The best thing about mod rewrite is how easy it is for anybody.</p> <p>Here is an older article on it: <a href="http://www.websitepublisher.net/article/search_engine_friendly_urls/5" rel="nofollow">http://www.websitepublisher.net/article/search_engine_friendly_urls/5</a> you can find plenty more searching Google. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/modrewrite-permlinks-ending-#post-108 Wed, 06 Jun 2007 21:54:01 +0000 sloeg 108@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>Whats your opinion on using modrewrite to change my URLS to easily readable paths.</p> <p>eg. <a href="http://mysite.com/review/topic-one/" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/review/topic-one/</a><br /> or should it be, <a href="http://mysite.com/review/topic-one" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/review/topic-one</a><br /> without the trailing / ?</p> <p>Will SE's think that they are directories and not give a better PR? </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/dash-or-underscore#post-43 Thu, 17 May 2007 18:49:17 +0000 2dcandy 43@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>it depends what you're urls look like and whether the keywords are worth the effort involved.</p> <p>SE's (google anyway) see words seperated by an underscore as one word. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/dash-or-underscore#post-37 Thu, 17 May 2007 09:23:11 +0000 twofivethreetwo 37@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>Honestly I don't really know the difference in dash vs underscore, I personally use underscores alot in my coding scripts and sites. However, while searching Google I found this article that says its best to use dashes when it comes to Search Engines.</p> <p>I'm sure there are more resources on this topic. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/dash-or-underscore#post-34 Thu, 17 May 2007 00:01:46 +0000 sloeg 34@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>My understanding is this: Dash &gt; underscore in URLs because underscores are hard to see in underlined links and SEs see dashes as spaces.</p> <p>If this is true, what do they see underscores as?</p> <p>I ask because I'm doing something right now that automatically uses underscores and not dashes (I don't think I can change it unless there's some funky thing with mod_rewrite).</p> <p>Is it worth finding a solution to remove the underscores and use dashes instead? </p>
