Friendly URLs and SEO
Data-Stream CMS for ASP.NET allows you to build search engine friendly web sites that can be easily indexed by Google and other search engines.
Friendly (smart) URLs
Every page on your web site automatically has its unique URL that reflects the position of the page in the content tree, such as:
-
http://www.mydomain.com/products/nokia.aspx
-
http://www.mydomain.com/products/nokia
-
http://www.mydomain.com/products/nokia.html
As you can see, the URL doesn't contain any extra parameters, such as ?tabid=7498 that might not be understood by the search engine robot.
The URL can be customized by changing the document alias. You can also choose which characters should be replaced in the URL and the replacement character - e.g. you can choose that spaces are replaced with dash (-) in the URL.

Custom URLs
When you need to create a unique URL for example for some marketing campaign, you can define a custom URL for every document that is independent on its position in the site structure.
For example, you could use
http://mydomain.com/nokia
instead of
http://mydomain.com/products/phones/nokia.
