In MSN and Google, they work fine, and they have the %20 like: [url]www.mysite.com/this%20product[/url] I want to make sure these pages are indexed correctly, so what should I do? Two ideas I have are: 1. change all the links on the site to use %20 instead of the space (I don't really prefer this since the links without it look better) - or even substitute a character like ""_"" for spaces I guess. 2. Add a ""/"" at the end of the URL, like: [url]www.mysite.com/this[/url] product/ Thinking maybe this will kind of encapsulate the URL so the indexing doesn't stop at the wrong point? Has anyone experienced this and what are your suggestions? Thanks. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
