We had two new exciting posts about making applications more search engine friendly with mod_rewrite . Melky has just created a text link selling application which he is currently making more search engine friendly with mod_rewrite, he has posted a tutorial on mod_rewrite here.

I just though I will post Matt Cutts of Google says about mod_rewrite here to compliment the recent posts and discussions on mod_rewrite.

This post is link to a video, where Matt Cutt's talks about using static vs. dynamic URLs. I hope I have linked the video correctly, if it does not play automatically, you can watch it from its original source: [GVIDEO]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6860320126300142609[/GVIDEO]


Matt Cutts said "PageRank flows to dynamic URLs similar to static - however, dynamic URLs can definitely have too many parameters.

He recommends using 2-3 parameters at most, and avoid parameters with numbers to prevent the search engine crawlers from mistaking them for session IDs. Site back and enjoy the video
