Hi I've been trying to make my own website which I was successful but dang it doesn't look very pretty or eye catching. One problem that I've come across is SEO and I've heard that Google does not recognize my website because of the amount of 鈥?20鈥?in the URL address for my pages. For example:

example.com/CAD%20Drafting%20FAQS.htm

I don鈥檛 know how or why but how do I get rid of %20 out of my URL? I used MS FrontPage 2000 to make my website if that makes a difference.

Also my web hosting server is coming up for renewal and I want to change hosting servers. What are some good criteria to use to choose a good provider for the dollar?

I appreciate your help and suggestions. Thank you.

%20 is used to replace a space in the file name. Your file is named "CAD Drafting FAQS.htm" so in an URL it appears as "CAD%20Drafting%20FAQS.htm". You could use underscores (_) instead of spaces. They are much prettier in an URL and I'm pretty sure they are OK with SEO. So rename your file to "CAD_Drafting_FAQS.htm" and the URL will become "example.com/CAD_Drafting_FAQS.htm"

A %20 is a space. Use underscores or remove the spaces all together.

A good hosting server is going to depend on what you want out of it. Does it need FrontPage extensions, .NET, PHP, etc.

i wudv helped u afew yrs ago cuz i was mad about making my site which i had for 6 years! and i learnt loadza stuff. now i've got kids and my brain is mush. but im pretty sure the % sign is there because you have a space between words. try using underscore or the hyphen between words.

reset ur internet conection by unpluging the black cord from the box of highlight over the 20% and press delete hope this hlps pls add me thanks

The %20 is added automatically when you leave a blank space between the words.

Instead of naming your page cad drafting.html, name it cad_drafting.html or cad-drafting.html. Use underscores or hyphens instead of space.
