Search Engine Friendly URL's: Help Needed

I believe that this problem is well known. The main search engines do not properly index pages that have a question mark in the URL. Since I have a (SWP based) database driven site that is exactly the case. I'm obviously trying to fix this issue and get my URL's to look like this www.site.com/xxx/xxx/xxx

There are a few solutions for this problem, one of them extensively described on devarticles. One minor problem, I really lack the knowledge to implement.

Anyone willing to help me out? I would guess it takes an experienced guy or girl very little time to get this done. I don't mind paying for the work.

Thanks!

i can help you

Hi,

I can help you in this case. I have worked as co-programmer specially for friendly URL stuff. It was very hard to do it but after all we were successful.

Check this site: http://www.designfirms.org

Google has indexed 96% pages. Actually there are no pages but virtually generated from database.

If you want to develop any site, kindly let me know your website.

Thanks,

Qutub Bharmal

in Apache with this problem helps .htaccess and mod_rewrite it can convert some thing like
somedomain.com/page/123/1290
into
somedomain.com/page.php?id=123&blablabla=1290

Or, if you want the easy way, use:

Code:

$aLevel = explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);

This leaves you with a neat array of variables. You can do:

Code:

<a href="http://www.domain.com/en/level1/level2/">link</a>

which would make
$aLevel[0] == 'en';
$aLevel[1] == 'level1';
$aLevel[2] == 'level2';

Look mama, no mod_rewite
