RE: shorten the page address

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Betty,

As for the redirection script, you only need to put it in the custom 404
page(an asp page) rather than put it in each asp page you want to remapping
its path.

Also, as for your afraid to be punished by search engines, do you mean that
you're worried that the 404 page approach will cause search engine to
receive 404 error instead of 200 code? For this scenario, I think you'd
better use some http monitoring tool(such as the IE web development helper
or fiddler) to verify the http response header(status code) to see how this
404 error page approach works.

Steven,

the following is from http://asp.johnavis.com/blog/default.asp?id=19
This RequestQS function call can get parameter's value.
I think this function call shoud be put in the customized 404 page in
order
for those redirect working.
But why John says it needs to be put "Add the following function to the
beginning of each of your scripts that will use URL redirection:"
The page:
http://www.mydomain.com/param1name/param1value/param2name/param2value/page.
asp
doesn't even exist and it will be redirect to ............../page.asp,
right?
*****************************************
Add the following function to the beginning of each of your scripts that
will use URL redirection:


Function RequestQS(strParam) strQuery =
Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") lngStart = InStr(strQuery,"/" &
strParam & "/") RequestQS = "" If lngStart > 0 Then lngStart = lngStart +
Len("/" & strParam & "/") lngEnd = InStr(lngStart + 0, strQuery, "/") If
lngEnd > 0 Then RequestQS = Mid(strQuery, lngStart, lngEnd - lngStart)
End
If End IfEnd Function
