pls advise my php URL syntax is ok...

Keywords in URL, Search Engine Optimization

[marcus76]

hi,

Is the format of the following URL valid?

[domain.com...]

Is it breaking any php / MySql rules, maybe search engines dont like it? The link works on my site (substituting the domain.com for mine), i just wanted to know if this would be suitable for using to pass keywords in URL's? and as opposed to the default standard below:

[domain.com...]

Thanks

Marcus

It may be worth you setting index.php?kw=enter+keywords+here&other=sethere

Even better, you could have:

example.com/your-keywords-here.html

And use mod_rewrite to map the URL to the appropriate query parameters.

ok ,

is it common to use the mod_rewrite to map the URL? I dont want to go down this route only to find google / yahoo and other SE's ignore these rules in the future....

i like the : example.com/your-keywords-here.html

especially for Yahoo / MSN etc...google seems to have little relevance.

anything to watch out for using mod_rewrite?

thanks for the advice.

Marcus
