How do I make SEO Url's

[wee493]

How do you make search Engine optimized usl's? I have tried before with little success.

I have a video hosting site and I want it so users can type in site.com/username and it will go to the members profile, but the best I can do is where users have to enter site.com/username.html for some reason with out the .html it will not work

Any suggestions?

use a script in the page.

/site.com/index.php?user=123654
/site.com/?user=123654

or you can use redirects that look at the URI string and redirect to a page as appropriate.

Look into Mod_Rewrite..

Actually, it's not that hard. Just put the HTML file in it's own directory and rename it as index.html. Whenever someone types site.com/your_directory and it will show the index.html file in the directory.
