    Is this URL readable

    http://www.hotclubber.com/?L=events.list

    is that URL readable fine by search engines i was under the impression that urls that have a ? on it will not be read past that. Should i do a mod rewrite on all urls that have ? or just leave it as is?

    In all likelyhood, it will probably be fine (I mean, look how good the forum posts here get indexed), but I would re-write it anyway, personally, if for no other reason than aesthetics and making things easier on the humans u sing the site.

    The only problem I could possibly see is the .list bit at the end. It wasn't too long ago (okay 5 years) that that would have caused a big problem, even in Google. I had to email a Google engineer a few times ot get them to fix it.

    Of course this is a problem: http://www.hotclubber.com/?L=events.list
    The page doesn't even load for me

    In all seriousness it will probably be FINE but if you don't want to risk it you cuold mod_rewrite it.

    It's not hard if you wrote the software... if you didn't then you'd have to figure out how it creates the URLs and make them SEO friendly.

    The .htaccess stuff is only 2 lines and very easy.
