@nicos What rewrite rules are using? In the article, I've kept them simple on purpose, but you can define the rules to be a lot stricter.

SEO Urls have minimal effect on the website ranking in my experience. It definately doesn’t hurt to have them inn there though within reason. I’ve seen some seo urls so long that it totally defeats the object.

You could have also done it wordpress style, where they have a single rewrite rule and handle all of the rewriting using php.

I also agree, there are many articles out there that don’t explain this very well, so I’m glad someone has taken the time to exp[lain things from the start.

Finally, after many weeks of failing and failing I finally found a tutorial which covers everything and not just one single part of the whole ride.

Thanks a lot man!

@SEO India

I thought the same to be honest. Loads of tutorials explaining all the regexp patterns and what the markers within the htaccess file mean, bit none explaining how to get it up and running with a popular language like PHP.

As I’m in a surprisingly good mood tonight, I’ll let the blatent and totally shameless SEO link anchor text go this time, consider yourself (mildly) warned
