What are Search Engine Safe (SES) URLs anyway? Typical dynamic pages generated by server-side code require that either FORM or URL-scoped variables be provided in order to differentiate one dynamic page from another. A majority of these URLs look plain ugly: index.cfm?event=welcome&firstName=Adrian&lastName=Scott.
Wouldn’t it be a lot nicer if we got rid of the ?, =, and & symbols in favor of a more structured (and clean) method like: index.cfm/event/welcome/firstName/Adrian/lastName/Scott/. Not only are URLs like this easier to read and understand, but they supposedly also increase search engine optimization.
