Hi all

i know search engines crawels query string urls just fine but i hear from lot of SEOs that static looking url is good thing to implement. because there can be errors on long or complicated query strings where as static urls are great chance to include keywords in urls.

i was working on this project where i have to build dynamic posting results which could overlap, so we would have two entries which could be listed with the same for any given category. So given this fact, our programmers are saying we have to add a unique query string/stub in order to differentiate the entries.

I do not handle the database, so there's nothing I can do in this regard, but I am wondering if there is a way to do this where two records would have the same name, yet be written so that they don't duplicate each other.

so this...
www.domain.com/category/

has two of these...
www.domain.com/category/specific
www.domain.com/category/specific

which have to be re-written in a way like this to avoid duplication...
http://www.domain.com/category/speci...c0d6-4c89-87bc

Is there a better way to do this?

i think second URL option is just fine. even if keywords duplicate i'm sure it is not with many pages and it does not have any harm.

search engines preffere static urs because they u more user friendly. such as if some body read url he come to know about to page subject.

so it is more like customer usability point of view
