Search Engine Optimization Tip for Pligg Sites

Always trying to improve, I found this article:

No Fear of Remapping URLs of your Site

Apparently, static URLs are more attractive than dynamic ones to search engines. By adding this code to your .htaccess file, you can create static looking links to your dynamic story pages:

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule story-(.*)\.html$ story.php?title=$1
This will allow a dynamic story url that looks like this:
http://www.acttup.com/story.php?titl...-well-wishes-1

To be accessible through a link that looks like this:
http://www.acttup.com/story-Accident...-wishes-1.html

Now, the article suggest recoding your site to use the static links, I haven't taken that one on yet.
