Spill the beans lol.

Anyway, even setting that aside, you could just set .htaccess to treat extensionless files like PHP or Perl files, and then parse the URL out. That’s what I did before using mod_rewrite.

I can understand the all or nothing approach, but I’ve found it can be pretty detrimental sometimes, too. In some instances, I’ve forced myself to implement half-measures in the midst of an overhaul because they can provide significant benefits in the interim and take very little time. Especially in those instances in which overhauls take weeks (or months).

In any case, I’d want the entire site revamped, not just to improve one or two areas… go big or go home, you know?

I can also relate to what you’re saying about effort and profit not necessarily going hand-in-hand, and it can make it quite hard to know which sites are most in need of your time.

Re: SEO-friendly URLs. I dunno if Tyler’s standards are high or not, but even if they are, he shouldn’t have trouble finding someone who can implement them (or at least switch to ID numbers). There are two especially simple ways to go about it that even a mediocre programmer ought to be capable of.

I really think with your poker site you could be making much more money per month off affiliate income over paid advertising. However if you’re using it just as a steady income source, then the paid advertising is the safer route.

Keep up the good work!
