This article explains the technical aspects of URL Rewriting. This is a starter guide for beginners who need know the basics of URL Rewriting.
What is URL Rewriting? – An explanation of the process called URL Rewriting.

URL Rewriting is the process of manipulating a URL or a link, which is send to a web server in such a way that the link is dynamically modified at the server to include additional parameters and information along with a server initiated redirection. The web server performs all these manipulations on the fly so that the browser is kept out of the loop regarding the change made in URL and the redirection. So client is given a feeling that the content is fetched from the original location mentioned in the URL it has requested.

The Rewriting Engine scans the URLs and makes the needed restructuring on the URL based on pre-defined conditions and rules.

Let’s illustrate this with a real life example.

Consider the following URLs.

http://www.mywebsite.com/products.php?shprod=345

http://www.mywebsite.com/products.php?cat=cars

Both the above given URLs are with a query string and is a common scene in almost all dynamically driven websites. These links are supposed to show the user with the details of a product with an id of 345 or show products with a category name of “cars” from the website’s database. This URL has many limitations, as the link is cryptic for humans, the links are not that much search engine friendly and is prone to easy manipulation on the query string side by client side interaction. So lets check out how these URLs can be written in a more overall friendly way.

Surveys have confirmed that the main growth in the use of the Internet is in the area of “networking”. Connecting people is a significant part of the Internet through use of web sites to discuss things with like-minded people.

Until recently, the only way of being connected was via email. That is mostly one-to-one, has inherent delays and is also limited in what you can achieve. Nowadays, you can share text, audio and video using social networking sites. These are not one-to-one, but many-to-many and are also immediate.

In a sense, what we are now witnessing online is what has happened offline for centuries. Groups of like-minded people are getting together, chatting, swapping information and passing on useful ideas and products. With the interconnectivity offered by many web sites nowadays you can achieve all this online.

But for those people trying to earn money online, it’s good to understand the fact that there is this essential human need for people to interconnect when online. If your business web site doesn’t have any means of interconnection, you are less likely to attract the modern Internet user, who sees interaction as fundamental. No longer can your business rely on a support email address or a “contact us” form.

These days you need to allow your web site visitors to interact with you AND with each other. That means you need a forum, for instance, or at the very least a blog where people can comment on what you’ve written. You could also do with the ability for people to add content to your web site, such as articles or video clip. Such features in a business web site will help create a sense of belonging, of identity.

In the future a good business web site will be one where a (Read more ...)
