Hi Jerry thanks for your answer.

Yes, but as there are some threads regarding the same thing, I'm kind of confussed right now and all the rules I tried don't work for me. Probably I'm missing something, but I need to solve this as really urls with ? can't be crawled properly.

Thanks

Jesus

PS
BTW, I hope I can move forward with your book soon

Hi Jesus,

All modern search engines, including Google, have no problem crawling URLs that have question marks in them.

If you would like some more information on how to use .htaccess to remove the question mark, try this [url http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=.htaccess+%2B+remove+question+mark+from+URL&oq=.htaccess+%2B+remove+question+mark+from+URL&fp=dfc60defedc2f35c] Google Search[/url]

Hope this helps

Hi,

I'm trying to make this SEF rewrite rule to work, but still no luck.

I'm using this code:

RewriteRule ^./accesando/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /accesando/ver_articulo.php?$1 [L,NC]

As I'm having too much headaches with this thing I've a question, probably this will be much faster.

On AM2, I used to have a field named: Filename . Filename was a text file that I used precisely to give each article the name I wanted to display.

Any toughs? I'll love to use the simpler method to remove the ver_articulo? part of my article name in order to keep this more search engine friendly possible.

Thanks in advance.

Jesus

Hi Jesus,

I'm not sure what URL variables you need to be passing. This depends on how your page is set up and what information you want to be able to pass to it.

.htaccess rewrite rules tend to get complicated quickly and goes beyond what we are able to address in the forum. If you would like us to try to solve this for you, please send an email to consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.

Hope this helps
