Change URL Address?

[jpedo]

Hello, we are developing our website for Search Engine Optimization. Part of
our strategy involves using key search words in the URL addresses. We want to
change the URL addresses for each sub page of our website. Our website was done
in Cold Fusion. How can we change the URL addresses? If anyone wants info on
how to set up your site to get placed high in Google, etc. I will gladly
exchange that information for an answer to this question. Thank you.

Since you have not disclosed enough information (IMHO) to describe your SEO
approach, I can only offer a guess. A URL is made up, in general, of a domain
name, a directory path, a filename and a possibly a query string.

In general, you can either hard code the URL like you do with HTML or pull
part or all of the URL from a database. In the latter case, you would
dynamically create the link. See code below.

If you deem this reply sufficient, please post your SEO optimization strategy
to this forum.
