rewrite dynamic URLs as static

[loki]

a site i'm working is only partially indexed
by google (http://www.google.es/search?q=site%3Awww.friendlyrentals.com&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official)

the URLs are not good, for example

http://www.domain.com/PropertyDetails.aspx?CultureCode=en-GB&RegionId=1&PropertyId=72&ControlConfig=0

we are going to use a rewrite to make them static and i have the choice of writing them as folders ie:
http://www.domain.com/language/city/KW1/number.html

or with slashes ie:
http://www.domain.com/language-city-KW1-number.html

the former will be more complex/costly, but we only want to have to do this once, so if better, we'll do the former.

site is here (http://www.friendlyrentals.com/)

any thoughts on which will give us a better chance of getting fully indexed?

The "Folder-like" URL looks more friendly.

The long-hyphenated-URL looks spammy.

To get google to spider a bit deeper into you site, you may want to take a look at your site map page and expand it a bit. Find a way to put a direct link to each of the apartment pages.

Once you do that, you might also look into Google SiteMaps (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login) to make sure that Google finds all your pages.

Otherwise, I like the folders too.. :)

Great site BTW. :up:

i setup a google sitemap a while back (using a txt file not xml) which googlebot is happily devouring, so i assume that a sitemap would be obsolete.

google has the pages indexed, just not showing titles/descriptions.

:(

i guess the folders do look better. thanks both.
