It's probably a historical thing but it hasn't been a problem for quite a while now, particularly with the advent of XML sitemaps. I think the benefits of keywords in the url (domain in particular) and then folder/filename is indisputable, but does anyone have any idea if there are any SEO benefits of keywords in request parametrs? For example: www.mysite.co.uk/myfolder/mypage.php?kw=little-blue-widgets I’d agree with Damir’s point about dynamic url’s and the fact that they are crawled.

Short URLs with one or two parameters are usually indexed and show up in results. But they may suffer by showing further in the search results because of a unfriendly URL. All things being equal it is our belief that a SEO friendly URL will outrank a string-based URL with parameters. Damir, that is promotional copy found on that company’s site.

The functionality is very similar to Apache’s mod_rewrite.” I think that's not true. I have site on IIS and have many pages page.asp?cat=1?id=12345. And all of them are indexed by G. “Most search engine crawlers don’t index dynamic pages, e.g. page.asp?item=1 so OpUrl allows you to use static URLs instead.

ISAPI filters are great except when you don't have access to the web server as is common with shared hosting environments. What’s the latest on built-in support for rewrites in IIS 7.0?

Unfortunately our previous host discontinued support and we had to change hosts because of that and went to a Unix Apache server which is much, much better. I can't speak for any of the others though. We have only worked with Helicon Tech ISAPI_Rewrite and had good results.

This solves a very specific problem which I'm not currently facing so I can't test any of these out, but I have no doubt that I will run into this in the near future with a couple of client site revamps in the works. Can you attest to the ease-of-use/implementation or overall effectiveness of any of these in particular? Great info presented clearly. Thanks. Very good writeup.
