Using mod rewrite to create search engine friendly URL's

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I am creating a website for a travel agency and they are eager to get good search engine rankings (As any e-commerce website wants to).

In a bid to improve their ranking and get their destination descriptions indexed, I have decided I will use search engine friendly URL's by taking advantage of ModRewrite.

Oh boy talk about putting my head into the fire!! After about an hour I gave up in sheer fustration.

So realizing I am not yet a ModRewrite master, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem.

What I wish to do is have a database generated URL such as this...

/blah.html?session=7644662&location=america&holidaytype=fullboard

Be referenced as something similar to one of these in our markup...

/blah.html/session/7644662/location/america/holidaytype/fullboard

/blah.html/session=7644662/location=america/holidaytype=fullboard

...that way a spider would crawl them and they would show in the listing.

If anyone can show me a way to do this or even give me some pointers I would be very grateful to you.

Many many thanks.
