    One more question from me :)
    Is there any difference from your experience between
    http://www.domain.com/catergory/article.html
    AND
    http://www.domain.com/catergory/article-124.html
    ?
    I know what the main point is keywords in url, but still, it's quite hard to configure .htaccess file when there is no ID's. Because there always gets mess with such a things like profiles, forums etc.

    Another way for me, whitch looks better is something like
    http://www.domain.com/content/category/article.html
    This lets me know, that user or SE is searching for articles, not profiles etc. This doesn't include any numbers, BUT ir takes keywords deeper in the URL...

    I'm not a newbie, I know what is the best practicles. But I don't have too much experience with big projects. Adding ID is very tiny difference, but I need to know how tiny, so I'm asking here for experienced SEO experts for advice.

    Well... Nothing new there. I am listening for Matt Cutts tips on YouTube, reading related SEO questions. I guess I should try any other way to find out if the given URL is an forum post, profile page or something else. But in htaccess it all looks the same...
    Like this rule:
    RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ /index.php?a=$1&alias=$2&c=$3
