Yahoo Intros New Dynamic URL Rewriting Service

According to the Yahoo Search Blog, Yahoo is now offering a new service in Site Explorer that will let you dynamically rewrite URLs for Yahoo Search.

I am not 100% sure how it will work, but from what I can see if you use a CMS that uses GET variables (like example.com/bla.php?var=this&h=b&f=5033) you can set, from within Site Explorer, how Yahoo should rewrite the URLs into more search engine friendly ones. Yahoo even goes as far as saying it offers “Better aggregation of link juice to your sites, which can help your pages rank better.” I love their use of “link juice” - something you never see SEs use.

Basically you set up any static variables, and tell it which parts of the URL are dynamic.
