We are currently using iis7 and the rewriting module which was also installed. Using it we were able to product some nice SEO friendly urls for catalook. We modifed the catalook code to display product urls to the following format. http://www.mysite.ie/product/1111/Dewalt_Cordless_Drill. So using regex the parses the productid out and passes it into the following URL. Default.aspx?tabid=212&amp;ProductID={R:1} Should be a lot easier for a search engine to spider the site. Here is a rule you can set up in IIS7   <rule name="Rewrite" patternSyntax="ECMAScript">           <match url="^product/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9])" ignoreCase="false" />           <action type="Rewrite" url="Default.aspx?tabid=212&amp;ProductID={R:1}" />         </rule> Dec  5/25/2010 8:06:57 AM SCI-E6F08D8BD0E24BE6B07EB48D280E73D6 5 posts Re: SEO and Product Names what is the process to get the product name instead of the product id in the url?  5/31/2010 5:42:49 PM feelyd 35 posts www.handyhardware.ie Re: SEO and Product Names 1. You would have to get the source code version of CATALook. 2. Create a routine to fetch the product name based on a product ID. 3 Every time you create a product URL, you can replace the URL with your custom URL. I can send you on the source code. You can see it working here. http://www.handyhardware.ie/product/35322/McCulloch-11.5hp-Tractor-Mower  6/2/2010 7:45:34 PM SCI-E6F08D8BD0E24BE6B07EB48D280E73D6 5 posts Re: SEO and Product Names Thanks for the Reply... Does that mean that the routine fetches the product name? Or does each product url need a new custome url created individually, or is it done automatically via the code? (I apologize if this is a dumb question.. not much of a programmer) I checked out handyhardware and that's exactly what we are trying to accomplish.. What would be my steps to get this done?... 1. Get CATALook2 2. Make the source code change that you suggest? My email is hazen@planetsocialsports.com if you can send that over the source code that would be great.  6/5/2010 1:47:25 AM SCI-D6F7CDF10CD846949D0FA577A244E2FC 9 posts Re: SEO and Product Names HI!!! I would LOVE to get info about where you made this change to have the product name in the URL. I own the source but need to know where to put the change. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also...someone else noticed that your site has GREAT performance. Can you share any secrets??? pls send info to carsongoose at southerngoose.com  6/9/2010 7:54:03 PM SCI-E6F08D8BD0E24BE6B07EB48D280E73D6 5 posts Re: SEO and Product Names bump.
