What is a URL Rewriting Tool?
The URL Rewriting Tool is an online tool that rewrites long dynamic URLs into shorter ones, improving their readability, usability, and search engine optimization—particularly on Google. Long URLs are difficult to remember or share with others, which could make it difficult for Google bots to properly crawl them for indexing. Thus, this program was created in an effort to simplify such operations.
By doing this, you can alter your links for ease of use and SEO maintenance, which makes it easier for clients and consumers to find you because they don't have much trouble looking for personal information online.
Benefits of Using the URL Rewriting Tool
MintSEOTools’s URL Rewriting Tool lets site owners easily and quickly rewrite URLs to make them look better and work better. For both users and search engines urls must be clean. It also helps with User-Experience Optimization (UEO) because people can understand where they will be clicking on or typing before doing so without going through confusion anymore. It is then possible that by doing this one might get himself/herself higher up on these listings due to easier identifiers when needed.
Additionally, search engines love simple URLs; thus, using them will see you end up having your site well ranked by Google among others like Yahoo!, Bing, etc. Clean URLs are easily indexed and have high click-thru rates due to better aesthetics or trustworthiness.
How to Use the URL Rewriting Tool
Designed to be user-friendly, the process does not require any advanced technical knowledge. Here are the steps:
- Open the MintSEOTools's URL Rewriting Tool page.
- Type the lengthy URL in the space provided.
- Press the Rewrite button.
- Within a few seconds, the URL will be processed to generate four alternative rewrites with accompanying correct .htaccess code.
- Copy the new URL created and replace the old one on your website.
- For redirection, save the .htaccess code directly into your .htaccess file so that when somebody tries accessing that old URL they automatically go to this new page instead of getting the error message 404 not found.
Once done rewriting another URL click on Reset tool.
