Of course.. You need your website running from a Linux webserver (Apache) with the apache module mod_rewrite enabled, and by using php.
so doing this is it possible that google or yahoo would give me less or bad ranking means does its affect my ranking in google and yahoo
Options +Indexes Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^profile/([^.]+)\.html$ profile.php?mode=view&u=$1 [L] domain.com/profile/7.html would look even better.
In fact I was about to give him link to your profile I know you are the right person to answer about this..
you dont need to rewrite the url, SE's can easily handle a few variables in the url and seeing as you are not rewriting it for keyword purposes then i see little point.
Would it generate dupe content if he did 301 redirects from the old style to the new, which in turn, is rewritten back to the old?
301 should be able to keep from geting DC. I did that once myself when I moved a board. The PR also moves to the new URLs.
Excellent, coz that is what I am doing, moving a whooole bunch of links to a whole new cleaner format, but it's crazy... 301 redirect the old.. to the new.. then silently rewrite back to the old.. lol.
