Hello All -- I am working on a database driven website that can access individual records with a URL like this: http://www.domainname.com/index.cfm?pg=listing_details&id=83&hit=1&popup=0&p review=1 In order to make the URL more SEO friendly, we are using a URL handler that lets us structure the URL this way: http://www.domainname.com/index.cfm/pg/listing_details/id/83/hit/1/popup/0/p review/1 By removing the "?" and "&" symbols, we make the URL easier for search engines to navigate. Now, the SEO company is suggesting that we shorten the URL right down to the following: http://www.domainname.com/83/ I've seen many sites use more human readable URLs like the above or like so: http://www.domainname.com/gardentools Which would take you to the garden tool category of a data driven web catalogue (instead of explicitly passing the category ID via the URL).
