Hi, I have searched thru mailing-list archive (example thread http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2005-April/042831.html ) and found various partial and non-standard ways to achieve some kind of SEO-optimized URLs. In the past Perusion, Mike Heins' company, has Community Projects located in http://www.perusion.com/c/public/communityprojects/projectlistings.html. Logic is simple setup a public project with a cost then interested parties pledge money. So Mike can setup this and we can go on. A similar example project is OpenSEF located in http://projects.j-prosolution.com/en/projects/os-projects/project-opensef.html . This a Joomla/Mambo CMS component and it lets you do creative ways of URL rewriting. You can have: http://www.domain.com/section/category/item.html http://www.domain.com/section/some-prefix-item.html http://www.domain.com/category/item-some-suffix.html http://www.domain.com/section/category/item.asp In short you can change everything after your top-level domain address. But, of course, this comes with a performance penalty. This can be neutralized by using cache. One more point is that you may only want to use it only on product and category display pages not on account or order pages. Otherwise it can be problematic. These days you should utilize every chance to show up high in Google and keywords in URLs help a lot. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
