Search Engine Safe URLS

Search engine safe url's are one of the most requested features with a database driven site. One of the biggest drawbacks to having a database driven site, is that search engines cannot or will not index a page that has a ? in the url string. Unfortunately, that question mark is very important to allow the programming to function.

It is possible to have a database driven site without having the question mark in the url. It simply requires additional programming, or a specially modified webserver. The second option is generally not available, the first is readily available and we can help you implement it. By rewriting the url with programming your pages can continue to be database driven and be indexed by the search engines.

The url at the top of the page is an example of a database driven page that is indexable by search engines.
