Example: http://www.webpublishingforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=3632#3632 This is not a flattened out URL string. http://www.webpublishingforum.com/about453.html This a flattened out URL string. As you can see, there is no "?" or "=". _________________ Travel News Online College Degree Back to top frankcow Joined: 26 Jun 2006 Posts: 166 Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 10:15 pm    Post subject:     I would refer to this as an SEF URL (search engine friendly).

Within asp I don't know of anyway to do it without installed server components In many cases, you kind of have to have to have a mechanism built into your application to create search engine friendly descriptive URL strings. News site which is a part of this portal creates search engine friendly descriptive URL strings: http://www.webpublishingforum.com/top/business/ http://www.webpublishingforum.com/top/business/companies/ http://www.webpublishingforum.com/top/business/companies/apple/ http://www.webpublishingforum.com/top/business/companies/apple/blog/ This is not a result of minor modification. The application is written to create these URL strings. _________________ Travel News Online College Degree Back to top frankcow Joined: 26 Jun 2006 Posts: 166 Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 10:39 pm    Post subject:     and this is done with ASP??? _________________ get help with emarketing at the email marketing forum discover new indie music Back to top seo Joined: 16 Mar 2006 Posts: 1999 Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 1:09 am    Post subject:     frankcow wrote: and this is done with ASP???
