"Dollar sign" in URL??

Can I use a dollar sign in a URL?
eg: mysite.com/$100.htm

does it work? is there a better alternative? what exactly should I put?

thanks in adv....

 

$ sign...NO

 

you could always make the anchor text appear to be a url with a dollar sign int it

Ok stupid question but why are you wanting to include a $ in the URL?

 

Why do you want that '$' on URL ?
- For SEO purposes ?, IMO is better with mysite.com/dollar-100.htm
- The file on your server is called '$100.htm" ?, You can use mod-rewrite redirection on your server to transform mysite.com/dollar-100.htm to mysite.com/$100.htm
- '$100.htm' is a dinamic variable on client side ?, You can escape your url and unescape on server. Example: '$' char will be sent as '%24'.

 

i think it's not a good idea. i dont suggest you to use it

 

whats the purpose? just put it on your titles or anywhere in your page,, but not in domain name/page...

 

Not a good idea. But do it in terms of words like

mysite.com/100-dollars.html

 

Could even go all the way and make it make_100_dollars.html

 

Thanks for the replies,
I wanted to use it in a page where (for example) I might be selling...

mysite.com/website-for-under-$100.htm

So I should use

mysite.com/website-for-under-100-US-Dollars.htm

 

just leave it at "mysite.com/website-for-under-100.htm"

the dollar sign is not needed
