Question -- Serge, I love your newsletter; thank you for making this available every week! I only have a quick question. What is Mod Rewrite? Can this help my site?

Answer -- Mod Rewrite (written mod_rewrite) is a small code of server software used to modify URLs even before getting the requested file, for a variety of purposes. This technique is known as URL rewriting.

Some benefits derived from a rewrite module are:

1) Making site URLs more search engine-friendly

2) Preventing undesired hot linking

3) Not exposing the inner workings of a Web site to users
