What is Pretty Urls?

Pretty Urls is a modification for Simple Machines Forum software that transforms links inside your forum into a more human and search engine readable format.

For example the default format for
http://www.yourforum.com/index.php?board=1.0
Transformed into Pretty Urls format would be
http://www.yourforum.com/board-name-here/

These little changes make a huge difference in search engine rankings and help increase traffic your website receives.

IIS Support for Pretty URLS

Getting Pretty Urls to work on Internet Information Server (IIS) for Windows
By default IIS does not support .htaccess files but there is a module for IIS called ISAPI Rewrite from http://www.isapirewrite.com which will allow IIS to read .htaccess files without any modification. I use ISAPI Rewrite on my servers and it has worked very well for me and I highly recommend it if you have a windows server.
