For some parts of the site, it is manually done and for other parts the URLS are built by the system dynamically.

Much of this can be done dynamically using htaccess rewrite rules.

Stefan, good article. I’m interested in knowing whether your site is dynamic or static. I saw that you referenced a few “.jsp” links in the article. Do you have code that dynamically builds the “friendly” URLs (and the directory structure)? Or, do you do it all manually?

Thanks

Wow, great article. I definately will use this advise, and strange enough, I’ve always questioned the what influence does the use of dashes have on a page’s path name. Glad you’ve cleared that out for me.

Thank you!

Another good article! i have only recently learned that this is a much better practice. Not only for the user but for also building the site.
