URL rewriting

While reading about search engine optimization I’ve seen references to the Apache module mod_rewrite more than a few times. The idea is to use mod_rewrite to let your site use URLs that are friendlier to both humans and search engines and that will not reveal the server technology you are using. Here are some good articles on mod_rewrite and URL rewriting that I have found:

• mod_rewrite: A Beginner’s Guide to URL Rewriting
• Generating Simple URLs for Search Engines
• Search Engine Friendly URLs with mod_rewrite
• Apache mod_rewrite documentation
