      Hi

      Long time reader 1st time questionairer (is that even a word?)

      Anyway I have started working for a company on a project and as I am in house they obviously throw everything they can at me.

      Todays question was about the seo friendliness for one of their sites

      http://www.angellovenails.com/newsite

      I am going through and finding better keywords for categories and pages. I know that there are pages with 200+ outbound links which need fixing.

      My question is about the url structure

      The product on this page is nail feathers, the url is

      http://www.angellovenails.com/newsite/browse.php?c=angelwingnailfeathers

      No matter what page of products you go to it includes

      browse.php?c=

      For seo purposes is this going to be a problem?

      I appreciate that we (which means me I think) will be adding content to the pages and the product names could be more keyword friendly. But I have no clue if we need to do something about the browse.php bit or not.

      Thanks for any help

        I wouldn't have structured it that way myself. i would have gone with something like domain.com/productname for easier readability, but you've already structured it it sounds like. I wouldn't change it if it's already been spidered.

        To answer your question, no it doesn't hurt. Google sees page.php?c=1234 and page.php?c=1235 as different pages.
