search engine safe urls

[rob]

Hey,

Has anyone seen a good solution for Search Engine Safe URLs with Classic
ASP? I've been looking for a while and short of using the 404 or
installing tool on the server I was hoping there might be something else.

In ColdFusion you can do a server.com/myfile.cfm/id/410 and it just
works ... (well, after you parse the slashes)

Thanks,
:rob

AFAIK, the only thing to worry about is id, eg:
http://www.example.com/somepage.asp?id=123

If you're using semantic markup, and you're separating content from
presentation and javascript enhancements are in an external file, you
should be fine.

BTW, you really should use example.com as that domain has been established
just for that purpose, unless, of course, you ARE <http://www.server.com>.

Id's are exactly what we're worried about.

Already doing the semantic/css markup thing ... thanks.

I'm looking for something where I can use "real urls" for search engines
etc., along the lines of this component:

http://www.motobit.com/help/url-repl...od-rewrite.asp

But via the asp code or something else less intrusive on the server-side.

I changed ?id= to ?sid= and I don't seem to have any problems.

You can look for some URL rewrite product on the market. Or if you have
dotnet framework installed, .net offer http handler and http module which
can be used to rewrite url easily.
