Pretty URLs and SEO Can't Post
I'm not too experience on SEO, but I heard urls are valued more if they have relevent keywords in them. Before setting up my website I want to have a system in place so I don't have to redo things later. I wanted to see if anyone knows if SSI (server side includes) are the way to go to clean up the urls such as long search strings.

For example I reduced:

http://builderreprealty.com/builders/exec/search.cgi?sort_order=5%2C123%2Cforward&lfield25_keyword=Austin&search=1&perpage=10&marknew=1&euro_numbers=0&lfield5_min=&lfield5_max=&lfield9_min=&lfield9_max=&lfield10_min=&lfield10_max=&shownew=&search=++Search+Listings++&template=austin_new_homes_test1.html&pagenum=1

To:

http://builderreprealty.com/test.shtml

With the SSI (Server Side Include):

<!--#include virtual="builders/exec/search.cgi?sort_order=5%2C123%2Cforward&lfield25_keyword=Austin&search=1&perpage=10&marknew=1&euro_numbers=0&lfield5_min=&lfield5_max=&lfield9_min=&lfield9_max=&lfield10_min=&lfield10_max=&shownew=&search=++Search+Listings++&template=austin_new_homes_test1.html"-->

On an empty webpage.

Thanks,

David
