I currently use mod rewrite to shorten URL's. Currently my URL's look like this:
http://www.mysite.com/directory/category/


Is it possible to rewrite to: http://www.mysite.com/category.html or category/ without moving everything to root.


My thinking is that it would increase the chances of getting them indexed and returning better in serp's.


Maybe I shouldn't be concerned. I would welcome a more experienced opinion.

Thanks for your help.

I suppose if you place the .htaccess file a level higher and rewrite it to insert 'directory/' in front of all the destination urls it might work.

My thinking is that it would increase the chances of getting them indexed and returning better in serp's.

I highly doubt it, but that's just me.
