Modrewrite vs hard pages

Modrewrite hard pages php seo

[fraggle]

making two directory scripts atthe moment

got one dymanic using modrewrite to make se friendly urls and the other (which isnt working as well yet) uses a daily cron job to update the pages from a database but makes real pages/directories.

I guess the hard pages will suit best for se traffic - what are your experiences (post test :))

Honestly, they're identical to the search engines.

Mod_rewrite is an apache function. This means it happens before it ever gets to the client. If you have 2 directories with the same structure, but one is static pages, and the other are mod_rewrite pages, they look exactly the same and act exactly the same to any client.

In addition, the power of mod_rewrite is awesome. you can create mod_rewrite pages that have .html extensions even though there is no .html file actually being linked to. Google and the like will have no way of knowing.
