gibbonuk Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hi, ive just added friendly static URLs via .htaccess to my site and was wondering if i should now use them as my internal links? For example, i can now goto www.mysite.com/product-laptops-dell.htm instead of www.mysite.com/products.php?cat=laptops&brand=dell which is fine as i can use them for google's webmaster tools for adding my sitemap. BUT, when i build my links in php should i build them as "www.mysite.com/products?cat=laptops&brand=dell" or as "www.mysite.com/product-laptops-dell.htm "? and does it really matter?

Adam Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just to add to that, if you have the page available from two different URLs, Google will assume you're using "black hat" techniques to get better rankings. More pages = more content. So as Neil says, always stick to one (the SEO friendly) scheme.
