Some of us tend to create url's directly from the link we get from the main website, and SEF is really helpful in making our links much more readable.

Good thing for me, though the site is being migrated, it is still sitting on the same server so the work is not very complicated.

As my boss always say, SEF is an important stuff in the Internet. Of course, this is right but I don't know much about that since I have to focus mainly on functionalitiRead More...
