Abstract
A technique for managing a web page having at least one URL supporting search engine preferred Universal Resource Locator (URL) links through URL mapping and shadow page support is provided. Because a search engine crawler typically does not want to crawl through dynamic URLs, a search engine friendly page would typically contain static URLs. Support is provided for obtaining the web page containing the at least one URL link and determining the at least one URL link to be of a dynamic format then converting the dynamic format of the at least one URL link into a static format. Next, a shadow page of the web page is created, containing the static format link, and placed in the shadow page repository. A web application server may then enabled to provide a URL mapping function to convert such a static URL to a desired dynamic format, based on a provided mapping file. Web administrators or developers may then define an entry in such a mapping file for each URL key that needs to be mapped.
