Hi,

I am trying to SEO a website which gets content from a CMS, and is coded using ASP, running under shared IIS hosting.

There are urls like http://example.com/search.asp?item=1...6&third_id=Red

To get some keywords in there, I was thinking how to get a URL like this
http://example.com/Widgets/Special/Red/search.asp OR
http://example.com/special-red-widgets.html
convert automatically into the one above with ? and ids..

If this can work, I can have keyword rich URLs, which when clicked can turn into old ID urls, and fetch relevant content from the CMS.

I've heard about IIS redirect but am not sure how it works. Considering that the site is on a shared hosting, I wanted to know your opinion and best ways to achieve this. Can the Free ISAPI_Rewrite do the job or do I need the full version.

Is there one file that I need to edit with the new & old URLs or do I need to create a new column in the CMS for the keyword rich URL?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
kamni

Try the following rule:

RewriteRule /special-red-widgets\.html /search.asp\?item=123&other_id=456&third_id=Red [I,L]

This may be performed using Lite version of ISAPI_Rewrite.
The only file you need to edit is httpd.ini file that is located in the installation folder of ISAPI_Rewrite.
