Just implemented something in my cms that lets an editor specify a
'friendly' page name. For example:
http://tamsenmunger.com/Robert_Taylor_Hellcat_Fury.cfm
I've had persistent requests for this for a long time, but it was a pain
so I resisted (bad attitude on my part). I caved in recently:
1. It lets me easily inject relevant keywords into the url. All other
things being equal, keyword.cfm has a better chance of floating higher
in results than blah.com/page_123.cfm, or blah.com/page/123
2. Google reportedly will only do dynamic links one level deep to avoid
getting its spider caught in a loop. One level ain't much. Either way,
doing it like this renders the point moot as there's no way to tell the
page is not static.
3. It makes the client really happy. Or more specifically the ceo gets
a warmer fuzzy when he sees Praise_The_Boss.cfm rather than /page/456
Other than it being a pain to build in (you have to deal with duplicate
and illegal char input checking, as well as what to do with a 404) I
don't understand why you are supposed to stick with the slash format and
shy away from foo.cfm.
