It appears that Google and others would prefer if one didn't stuff around with url's as it confuses the search engines. And if I remember rightly, Yros had problems with web-users being re--directed to the lofi theme when SEO is turned on. So what else is really happening? :cry: Anyway - Here's a good read. [quote][b]Does that mean I should avoid rewriting dynamic URLs at all?[/b] That's our recommendation, unless your rewrites are limited to removing unnecessary parameters, or you are very diligent in removing all parameters that could cause problems.[/quote] http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html And afterwards - try to convince me that SEO is actually beneficial, or a complete waste of time. :twisted: [b]Edit:[/b] I've been looking around at some Icy Phoenix websites, and it appears that no one is using SEO - not even here?
