Static Keyword URL's

Hi,

I am led to believe that static keyword urls are better than dynamic urls. E.g,

www.mydomain.com/cars/parts/brake_discs/product_1

is better than

www.mydomain.com/subcategory.asp?sid=15

However, my web master is advising me that it will cost me £600 for them to configure my URL's from dynamic to static so that each time I add a new product to my ecommerce store it will be given a static URL

This seems a lot of money to me, what are your thoughts?

Thanks

Jimbob

 

What software are you using for your e-commerce? It may have a module readily available in order to help convert your URL's to static ones

 

Hi,

I am not sure, my web design company keeps things close to their chest and just tell me it will cost me £600.

plus you cant have both the urls live, only one of them preferably

http://www.mydomain.com/cars/parts/b...iscs/product_1

or

www.mydomain.com/subcategory.asp?sid=15

 

set up a thread/post in the 'services'/trade section asking for a rate to convert dynamic asp pages into static for optimization purpose

 

Thats WAY WAY WAY overpriced, like mistnee said, make a thread in the BST section, and you'll save a lot of money.

 

you hould use one type url. static is better for search engies. it depends you what do you think?
