: What is the effect of Dynamic URL's on SEO I have around 150 dynamic URL's as below http://mydomain.com/training/register.php?key=01ue3be299a-6bc1-1030-a2db-e4115bd593d8 http://mydomain.com/training/register.php?key=02ue3be299a-9bc1-1030-a

If the content is different at each URL, then Googlebot will treat each URL as its own page. If you have different URLs and different content, you will have multiple pages in the Google index.

But you might not want all the versions indexed. It sounds like they are registration pages for different groups of people or for different purposes. Maybe you only want one registration page to show in Google. In that case use the rel canonical meta tag on all of them to tell Googlebot which is the one that you would like in the index.

You could also use Google Webmaster Tools under "configuration" -> "URL parameters" to tell Googlebot that the parameter "key" has no effect on the page and that it should crawl "one representative URL".

Yes defiantly you have to rewrite your URL with the use of htaccess. SEO friendly URLs are very important for ranking.

With the help of SEO friendly URL you can get higher ranking in Search engines.

Search engines can't understand URL like this...
www.domain.com/services.php?name=SEO

but it understand URL like this...
www.domain.com/SEO

This is very helpful. on above ex. you can get rank on keyword SEO with the help of rewrited URL
