I'm currently developing a site where we have this structure:
home
home/personal.aspx
home/personal/page1.aspx
home/personal/page2.aspx
home/personal/page3.aspx
home/business.aspx
home/business/somethingelse1.aspx
home/business/somethingelse2.aspx
home/business/somethingelse2.aspx
I would like to change the URL's to be like this for SEO purposes:
home
home/personal.aspx
home/page1.aspx
home/page2.aspx
home/page3.aspx
home/business.aspx
home/somethingelse1.aspx
home/somethingelse2.aspx
home/somethingelse2.aspx
The way we achieved this on a previous project was to seperate the menu structure from the website structure (i.e have 2 trees, the menu tree had the heirarchy and used content pickers, the actual content was in a flat structure for URL's). This worked very well for SEO, but was a pain for the content editors to keep in sync. I've looked at using umbracoUrlAlias, but this doesn't really cut it. Anyone else come across this scenario ?
We regularly set up a Url Redirect area under the contact node (next to home). This has child nodes that have 301 & 302 redirect properties using the a content picker.
That way you can simply create redirects without having to use htaccess.
Flat structure for website or URL rewrite ?

Haven't really found a good solution for this either. I guess url rewrite is the best option I think.
