Guide to the use of .htaccess for seo, redirects, urls, content crawl
Search engine optimizations (SEO) is all about making your website search engine friendly and help rank pages or posts. In this competitive market, you just cannot ignore SEO. .Htaccess is one of the important files of your website that lets you control your website functionality and how it interacts with the web. Thats why you need to customize it to maximize not only control but also search engine optimization. With the use of .htaccess for SEO, you can override the server configuration with your requirement.
Htaccess How To
# Apache configuration file
# httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/quickreference.html
# Note .htaccess files are an overhead, this logic should be in your Apache
# config if possible: httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html
