    Hello,

    One Of use of .htaccess file is to create SEO friendly URL.

    Example :

    If your URL is like this : www.example.com/filename.php?id=1 then it is not seo friendly url.

    Using .htaccess,you can make this url like this www.example.com/filename/1 which is seo friendly url.

    I hope it is clear.

    .htacess file is used to solve thecanonicalization issueof a website. It may happen that the home page of the site may take several urls like http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com/index.html or http://example.com . Thesearch enginesmight treat these url as different and may divide the link juice gained by having variousbacklinksmade with any of these 3 urls. The link juice gets divided between these three urls equally.
