Hi, James, Good input, as always! I had considered this. I already use these 404 redirects. For example, if you are looking for property number 348 on one of my property websites, the URL http://fourwood.com/348 is expanded by the 404 into http://www.fourwood.com/foursale/showdetail.php?pr=348&S=200 The first is very easy for people to remember and email, works fine. The problem is, in the case that I am asking about, I don't want the URL changing. Mod Rewrite seems to be the answer, if I can find something that mod rewrite will use to recognise that it is a request for an Article I use this mod rewrite to rewrite http://hotcosta.com/Marbella.info into http://www.hotcosta.com/loc.php?T=Marbella so that the URL remains the same. Currently I am thinking of making the URL contain a "SEO useful" folder name, mydomain.com/greencheese/reallytastycheese and get mod rewrite to recognise the URL via the folder name, but I was really looking for a way to get to mydomain.com/reallytastycheese ...but perhaps the SEO useful folder would be better... -- Pete Clark Advertise your events - local and free http://hotcosta.com/events.php
