Bettabuy.com Blog with URL Re-Writing on IIS
We host a blog for Bettabuy.com, site that compares prices on thousands of products. The blog has sections on Competitions, New Products, Price Reductions, Sales, Top Sellers, Voucher Codes, and Web Exclusives.
The blog part of the web site is powered by Wordpress, and we have installed the Helicontech ISAPI re-write module. This means that the blog can use search engine friendly URLs (as has long been the case on Linux sites, but is much less common on IIS). An example URL is http://www.bettabuy.com/blog/2007/09/dorothy-perkins-sale/.
We have also installed the same on this blog, so it will be interesting to compare search engine rankings before and after the URL rewrite.
The nice thing about helicontech is that the htaccess file takes the same format as those on Linux, so pretty much no editing is required. This is a great bonus because writing htaccess files is not simple if you are new to them.
We will be writing some documentation on how to do this but in the meantime if any customers want some help setting it up please email support@eurofasthost.com and let us know!
