TavoxPeru 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2008 I receive the last email from the Jayde Listing Notes list some days ago and with it comes an excelent SEO tool called URL Rewriting Tool which i think is very useful and i want to share with everybody. This useful tool allows you to convert your dynamic URLs into static looking html URLs, it is extremely easy to use, is than simple than entering a dynamic URL into a text box and press a submit button, once you do it the URL Rewriting Tool returns two type of results: Single Page URLDirectory Type URLFor each type of result the URL Rewriting Tool will generate some code that you must paste into a .htaccess file and then upload or copy it to your web directory. The only bad thing about it, is that this tool only would work if your site is hosted on a linux server. For example, if you enter into this tool the dynamic URL of the Xisto's View New Posts link which is: http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=forumsThe URL Rewriting Tool returns with the following two results: Type 1 - Single Page URLGenerated URL http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/-(Any Value)-CODE-(Any Value).htm eg. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ .htaccess generated code Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule index-act-(.*)-CODE-(.*)\.htm$ index.php?act=$1&CODE=$2 Type 2 - Directory Type URLGenerated URL http://forums.xisto.com/index/act/(Any Value)/CODE/(Any Value)/ eg. http://forums.xisto.com/index/act/Search/CODE/getnew/ .htaccess generated code Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule index/act/(.*)/CODE/(.*)/ index.php?act=$1&CODE=$2 RewriteRule index/act/(.*)/CODE/(.*) index.php?act=$1&CODE=$2 I hope it helps someone for achieving Search Engine Success.
