Are these links still 'seo friendly'?

Well I am trying to optimize my website and I was wondering if

www.mywebsite.com/review.php?sid=17_business_business name_description_short description here

is better then:

www.mywebsite.com/review.php?sid=17&reccat=1

A) What do you think? Is the first one more SEO friendly then the second one? or it won't make any difference as it still has the ? and =

B) the URL will have spaces in it, will that hurt SEO?

C) You think that I should implement it? or not?

D) If yes then should I use _ or -

Thanks for your responses!!

 

i dont think that it's sef url because there is an ?

 

If it was me I would look into shortening it and pulling a mod rewrite that would spit out the url close to something like this;

www.mywebsite.com/business/business-name/

"business" serves as a chance for early keyword placement . Dashes seem to work better than underscores I've noticed. Overall, you want a clean url that will help your visitors to remember the page easier, and can also give you an opportunity to rank for keywords in the URL as well.

 

I'd keep searching for the way you can accomdate this style - {same as suggested by SEO Honolulu}

.com/folder/category/page-name

or .com/business/business-name/


--> its do able with php for sure.

---> theres also software available on the web to help you with the rewrites if you want to take a faster route.

 

don't put any spaces in your url.....use underscores or dashes

 

What softwares? can you show me some? thanks. the thing is that it would be impossible making a mod rewrite of all urls and even i cant insert them in the script. The only way to make them seo friendly is by making an $_POST via a link, but as far as i read it's not possible through a link?

 

you don't need any special software....it is done with your .htaccess file

 

yes but as i already said i can't change the URL's in my script to those with the htaccess.
