The Key to Building Search Engine Friendly Pages
When building a content rich site, it is important that your pages are
search engine friendly. Choosing the right script for your site is an
extremely crucial aspect of your site development. There are many
scripts on the market that can be used for Content Management. I
highly recommend a free script called Drupal, but Im going to
highlight other scripts that are also freely available.
What Is Search Engine Friendly?
Scripts by default usually have all kinds of odd characters and question
marks that many search engines consider "foreign characters". Having
odd characters such as question marks within your URL extension
makes it difficult for your site to be indexed by the search engines. To
counter this, script developers have started using what is called a
rewrite technology that utilizes .htaccess file to create search engine
friendly URLS.
What is .htaccess?
Its a way to password protect, or re-direct users automatically to
certain parts of your website. Its the re-direction feature that is
utilized to create a search engine friendly URL.
