      Will the following urls will be considered as two different urls?

      1. www.example.com/key=value1& key2=value2

      2. www.example.com/key2=value2 & key=value1

        www.example.com/key2=value2&key=value1
        www.example.com/key=value1& key2=value2

        As long as the URLs can be reached with a status 200 on either permutation, then it would be seen as a distinct URL.

        From an SEO standpoint, depends on the semantic set up and content variation.

          Yes, this would be different URLs. As Rishi mentioned if it returns a 200 status it is a different URL.

          It may be worth looking at those values and adding canonical tags or making sure your URLs are always filling in properly. i.e. value1 is always before value2.

            Those URLs will be seen as different, but the real question is will the content on those URLs be viewed as different, or do you need a canonical tag.
