Variables in URL Rewriting and SEO,

Everybody know nowadays it's important to use a nice clean SEO-friendly URL in your adress bar. Normal menu item, pages, and normal links can be easyly rewrited with SIENN.

When you want for example your articles rewritten from your database, there a more then one feature available within SIENN. but there is one condition that is very important for every SIENN developer out there at this time.

Do not use to much variables in the unwritten URL.

There are options enought to rewrite basic URL's, but when it comes to say a lot of products, we want to use the auto-rewrite available in SIENN. It's important at this time that developers only use 1 variable that changes all the time in the link, for example the product.Id field.

for example a good link for 2 products:
Basis.aspx?Lid=4&Lit=VIEW&QUERY=UTAU_ShopArtikel.Id=177&Hmi=2109&Smi=2109
Basis.aspx?Lid=4&Lit=VIEW&QUERY=UTAU_ShopArtikel.Id=178&Hmi=2109&Smi=2109

You only see 1 variable change in the URL. This way SIENN can easy use it's rewrite engine. there are option's for more then 1 variable, but there at the moment in Beta phase.

Till Next time,
