Hi,

Could anyone point me in the right direction as far as Modifying Dynamic URL's in ASP to make them more Spider friendly?

Thanks

here is a great forum for just that

I looked at that forum, but it seems mostly oriented towards PHP.

thanks

Waddle,

When it comes to rewriting url's there's really no difference between ASP and PHP. The actual rewrite dll is attached either to ISS or Apache. If you server is running on a windows machine then you will most lickely use something like IIS Rewrite from Qwerksoft or use Mod Rewrite.

For some good examples about IIS Rewrite please visit the following:
http://www.qwerksoft.com/products/iisrewrite/IISRewriteDocumentation.htm

The entire process is not as easy as one may think it is. If you do not have any programming experiance this should be done by a pro. If you need help PM me and i'll give you a quote.

I use their full version and it works like a treat. They're really good about providing help with the rewrite rules on their forum too.

Yep i think i installed it right but i think im tired as i couldnt even work out how to get it working so i posted a message over there. Kinda embarrasing lol but the example im posting is a typical url i use so any answer will sort it out :-)

god knows how long i will be spending redoing all the links in my sites lol, but well worth it!
