I've set up a simple gallery system in PHP that is built to display one image per page. My URL parameter simply uses a gallery variable and a page variable and does not use the image iD in any way to pull the image.

Our SEO advisors are claiming that having our URLs in the form: www.example.com/category/subcategory/ leads to better ranking in the search engines, etc., but I'm not sure if that's true/valid. Do others use this practice in their own websites? The simpler alternative for us would be to do something like: www.example.com/showcat.p...
