I want to move away from
       file.php?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3
...and go to
       file.php/1/2/3
That is actually a good idea to build dynamic web sites and be still search engine friendly. You can take http://faqts.com as an example. Go over Google.com and search for 'faqts' and you will see that Google crawled the whole site structure because of how carefully the links were laid out. The same thing wouldn't happen (in most cases I guess) with a site of the '?var=2&var2=4' method of doing links.

Exactly why I switched our site from '/index.php?page=1' to 'index.php/1' - google and other search engines love following my links now :) -- _______ ___ _ ____ _____ Chris Hobbs / ____\ \ / / | | |/ ___\| __ \ Head Geek | (___ \ \ / /| | | | (___ | | | | WebMaster \___ \ \ \/ / | | | |\___ \| | | | PostMaster ____) | \ / | |__| |____) | |__| | \____/ \/ \____/ \____/|_____/ http://www.silvervalley.k12.ca.us chobbs@silvervalley.k12.ca.us
