    help question Changin what appears in the address bar

    Hi, i am struggling to figure out how to change what appears in the address bar. I know how to change what appears in the page tab but cant quite work out how to alter what appears in the address bar. I own an adult based website and this is an example of how i would like it to be. eg http://www.total-pleasure.co.uk/inde...&cPath=123_111 is the url for my condoms page but i would like it to be www.total_pleasure.co.uk/condoms and the same would need to apply for all of my page is possible. Can anyone help?

    What you're talking about is changing the dynamically generated URL to a static text type URL. There is an add-on that accomplishes this. But the question is why?

    It helps with Search Engine Optimization, I'm sure that's his main reason.

    It's a fallacy that it helps with SEO. Modern search engines are quite capable of indexing dynamic pages.

    help question Re: Changin what appears in the address bar

    Hi thanks for the replies. Its just because http://www.total-pleasure.co.uk/inde...&cPath=123_111 looks horrible in the address bar and aesthetically www.total_pleasure.co.uk/condoms would look much better. It will also be easier to identify what page is what as opposed to not having the foggiest idea because of all the numbers and symbols. Could you possibly tell me which add on accomplishes this. Thanks for the help.
