    I will be finsihed with my custom CMS very very shortly, and I am just making the links.

    I can change these very easily and quickly since I have them all stored in functions.

    The question is do these URLs look SEO friendly to you? I think they are the best I can think of.

    The URL looks like this:
    www.domain.com/This-Is-The-Section-ID.html
    www.domain.com/This-Is-The-Section-ID/This-Is-The-Page-ID.html
    
    Code (markup):
    This is a working example:
    http://www.domain.com/Counter-Strike-Source-20/Mani-Admin-36.html
    Code (markup):
    I chose to use - as my separator. I remove small words, the, of, a, it, am, of, etc etc, and I display the title at the beginning and any IDs at the end.

    Well, if Mani-admin is from the title, that's alright. Don't have them be called 'mani-admin-1.html', 'mani-admin-2.html' etc. Also, why have numbers in the URL's at all? It's clutter from an SEO standpoint.

    Well, because I can't gaurentee that the title will be unique.

    It makes it easier when querying the database.

    Since if two categories have the same title it would mess things up. Having an ID in the URL makes it fine.

    I would have mani-admin-2.html

    But I would have the directory constant.
