I thought of a different way of doing URL rewriting in Classic ASP. Perhaps it has been suggested before?
Instead of using custom error pages or an ISAPI filter I thought about passing parameters using subdomains.
So instead of a normal ASP URL such as...
http://www.ford.com/page.asp?model=1&year=2
...it would be rewritten as...
http://explorer.1999.ford.com/page.asp
This is very easy to implement. I wrote a couple of samples here: ASP URL rewriting using subdomains (http://home.exetel.com.au/john_avis/asp/asp-url-rewriting.html#subdomains).
I am wondering what peoples thoughts are as to what the consquences of doing this with search engines would be? Would the different pages being located on different subdomains be positive or detrimental? Is putting keywords in subdomains a good thing?
