hello everyone, just want to thank you guys that you helped me with my css issue last time.

now let's say i coded something like froogle and i want to show my results with mod_rewrite as html instead of the normal php strings.

it normally looks like that:
www.domainxyz.com/index.php?search=keyword

i have the following options now:
www.domainxyz.com/keyword.html
or
www.domainxyz.com/product-keyword.html
or
www.domainxyz.com/product_keyword.html
or
www.domainxyz.com/productsearch_keyword.html
or
www.domainxyz.com/productsearch-keyword.html

which one would be the best?

There is a lot of discussion on the board about that. If you want google to see the path as different keywords, use /key1/key2/ or /key1-key2/

I personally don't find that it gives much of a boost, and just makes you look like an seo, so I would vote for:

www.example.com/socks/cotton.html

Users like to see this - give them a 'breadcrumb' in the url so they know that they are in category 'socks' and they
are looking at the cotton ones.
