URL Aliasing
Benefits of Manual URL Aliasing
Manual URL Aliasing lets you completely alias a static or dynamic site. Benefits include
- You can make your site more user-friendly by creating "human readable" URLs (for example, /ourcompany.html is readable, while company.aspx?id=1 is not).
- If you have a PHP site, you can alias all php pages and use the same Query String names to pass the needed info to the new ASPX pages.
NoteAny query strings appended to an aliased page pass to the ASPX page and may be used if necessary.
- If you have a static Web site (for example, all HTML pages) that is indexed in a search engine, you can alias your whole site and gain complete content management without affecting your ranking in the search engine.
- You can increase your rankings in a search engine by naming pages according to the context of a specific search term.
