change page address

[haveonelikethis]

Hi
another question.
When I display a page within the site it shows loads of detailed address like : http://www.loveagift.com/index.php?m...&products_id=4

Is there any way it can be changed to something more search engine friendly, descriptive and easier on the eye?
regards
Colin

That's three separate questions.

Search engine friendly: Search engines, especially Google, have no problem with dynamic URLs as are generated by Zencart. While 'SEO' URL-rewriting mods are available, most here don't think they'll help, and can be problematic.

Descriptive: I'm trying (and failing) to think of the last time I, as a website visitor, looked at one of a site's URLs. If your visitors need to read your URLs to see where on the site they are, your navigation process is a failure.

Easy on the eye: see above - nobody's looking at them if they can easily navigate your site using links and content.

Hi Stevesh
Thanks for your good reply which reassures me that it is not necessary to change anything.

What you say makes sense.
