Q: My website is dynamically generated with a script but the URLs are quite long and ugly which I was told is not good for the search engines. How do I make them more search engine friendly?

A: Ah! Ahe classic question. Most CMS (content management systems) today are quite good about this and have realized the importance of URLs but some aren’t. Assuming the script runs on a Apache based host (don’t worry if you don’t know what this is, ask your web host), I suggest you go to a place like Elance.com, Guru.com or Rentacoder.com and request for a bid for “Mod Re-Write” project. Tell them what you want from the script, give them examples or a link to the existing site if it’s already set up. A smart developer can change those URLs, make them very nice looking and look like static pages.
