It depends what do you call nice if you need URL like that:

Quote:
_http://example.com/somepath/var1/var2/var3/index.htm
when you need mod_rewrite and there is not other way to solve it (some script/program should handle that not existed URL... of cause you can try to catch it on 404 and do some redirects based on referrer but in that case you will have lots of errors in log file ). But if the following URL is nice too for you:

Quote:
_http://example.com/somepath/index.php/var1/var2/var3/index.htm
then you can do it even without mod_rewrite.

p.s. that is strange that you cannot find the similarity between my answer and you question, they are 90% dependent on each other. Of cause it was not a direct answer but it has the hint: 'there is not reason of making such nice URLs, it will be just waisting of you time' but it is up to you I am almost two years in SEO business and I know several ways how to bring almost any website to the google top. I wanted to share some information with you but if you do not want it is better for me
